Rose ,
I have got May cert born 1895 Provindence Place ,Alicia st and Jessie 1889 67 Reform St West Scucoates.

Jonesey ,
Not my Stephen /Charles , his parents were Robert Cooper Smelt and Sarah Walker.

What's the address on Jessie and Arthur's birth certs?

Rose

Janet thats a new one to me .

I know there is another Charles born about the same time as mine but thats not the one i have .

Found Stephen on 1881 as a boarder in Scarbourgh but none of them on 1891 .
1st child born 1889 .

Definitely losing the plot now:

Looking at the birth of their 1st child she was born about 1891. It makes sense to think they were living together - or at least nearby - by then. Have you found Charles/James/Stephen in 1891 or 1881?

EDIT: Jonesey too quick! But surely this is the same family?
Or is it??
Jan

Thats more of my lot William Henry Smelt .

I said there was loads of them ,this is why its so confusing .

I know they were still in Hull area in 1895 as one of the children were born there ( have cert ]
First child was born Jan 1889 Sculcaotes Hull ( have cert )

Cath

Jonesey
Not the one , this is one of the other Smelts in my line .
They were all from Beverley and the name Charles , Stephen and Samuel were all names past down , so there are loads of them .

Cath

Here they are then!

Now for a think.

Jan

Considered the other marraige line but no luck .
Elizabeth Mason is named as mother on all birth certs .
Cath

Janet ,
Can,t for the life of me copy and paste .
Any way they are under the name Smell on 1901 .
Wallsend Northumberland .

Cath

Have you considered whether Elizabeth was married before? Or even if he married another Elizabeth??
