Hi,
Phillip Harry Smith (1878-1945) and Gertrude Abraham (1880-1937) had a number of children ( William Harry, Frank Edwin, Beatrice Ellen, Mabel Annie) between 1902 and 1910
also James (b and died in 1902)
but the 1911 census records no Frank Edwin and 1 other child that had died that I am not aware of.
Can anyone root out any info? :-D
They were all from Croydon , he was a warehouse worker.
Many many thanks
kevin
