Hi Heather , Thank you for taking the time to help. You have the right William James Goldsmith born in Sevenoaks in 1880 but not the next two. I have him in Kent with parents in the 1881 and 1891 census but loose him after that. His father was Edmund Frederick Goldsmith and his mother was Charlotte. Regards Mike

Could you put up what you have for him re census info then as there are a lot of people same name and samish date of birth. What place of birth does he have in those? What is his occupation.
