Could I ask please what connection you have to this family and why you are trying to track them down?

Did Janet Smith give you any 'proof' that the marriage of George to Joyce Jeffs was not the correct one?

Hello Dea. An old schoolfriend of mine could be the sister in law to Joyce Catherine Smith nee Jeffs. The Janet I spoke to had a father born in a different year.

Jennifer - I have a marriage of who I believe to be Joyce's parents:

Marriages Dec 1923 (>99%)
Jeffs Charles Wales Rochford 4a 1497
Wales Gladys F Jeffs Rochford 4a 1497

Is this correct?

They had 3 children - 2 girls and a boy - born between 1926 and 1928 ??

I have researched them and have some partners, children etc.

What was the name of your old school friend and is it her you are trying to contact? - Did she have a rather unusual first name???

Hello Dea, I spoke to the daughter of Joyce Jeffs and she confirmed that I have the wrong Smith family. There must have been another George T E Smith born 1929 and living in Hampstead. Maybe he moved to another area - like Hendon or somewhere like that where new post war housing was developing - and married in the area of his bride. I thought the three initials may narrow it down - but not so it seems.
