Oops - misread your post. Apologies.

Thanks a lot,
I think I have tried most of The Albert James Smith and tried to trace the line down.
On Alberts marriage cert (second oe ) it sates his Farther Charles Smith decesed Occ Road Inspector, that was 29 April 1913 marriage at Croydon Surrey.

The age is wrong, but the father's occupation is Gardener

Name: Albert James Smith
Event Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 7 May 1876
Baptism Place: Cheltenham, St Luke, Gloucestershire, England

Edit-------this family appear on 1911,,,,,he is Albert E Smith,so not correct man

Hi Erikah,
I totally forgot about hat hanks for reminding me

Thanks
Di

As there were no penalties before 1875, it may be that his birth simply wasn't registered.

Hi Greyghost,
I have put several requests on Genes, Ancestry, Rootschat people have been so kind I have checked them all so far and none of them match up.
I have checked in Oxford for a birth on familyseasrch.org and on Ancestry.
I agree with Mary about the 1911 I saved this on ANcestry. Oh for the record this is not my line I am helping my cousin out it is her side.
I have suggested to her that at his second marriage to Emily Amelia he could haave lied about his age as being 40 as Emily was only 32

Postcode for 1911 census 45,Hartfield Cresent Wimbledon SW19 3RZ


Postcode for 34,Dorien Road Merton (address at time of marriage SW20 8EJ distance between the two is 1.27 miles so it is possible that Albert Smith I posted about on 1911 census could be the correct one.

But I still can't find him before with dad Charles.


Maryb

Who are the witnesses on the marriage certificate - may give clues

There's only Mary's reply which could be checked for Father - but think that would be rather difficult, so how do you mean you've checked all the replies and none has Father Charles.

It shows a man in the right area, right age +/- a year or so and right occupation.

Maryb.

Malyon's answer has already been dismissed with wrong Father named on Baptism.

People lied about ages, about parents etc

Hi,
I have checked out all your replies Charles is not he father on any of them and no Charles in the name, just in case he was using his middle name

Di

Wimbledon in London borough of Merton,so could 1911 census be the correct Albert Smith !!
