I have looked through the births from 1921 - 1930 and found other Roe birth with MMN Smithson and that was Kenneth Roe 1921 Jan-Mar 1921 and Richard G Roe 1930 Oct-Dec both in Beverley.

Also as for the Elsie M Smithson who married Harold Roe.

I found a birth of Elsie Mary Smithson

Births Dec 1900 (>99%)

If the one found above is correct, to find his siblings you would have to search the GRO index (on Ancestry) quarter by quarter looking for Roe with MMN Smithson.

You could also search the marriage index for a Roe/Smithson marriage. I have checked FreeBMD but there is nothing there - the 20s are not yet fully transcribed

His marriage cert to your gran would show his dads name which may help finding his parents marriage
