Im looking for any information on the marriage of Samuel Edgar Charles Smith b. 1854 Ipswich to an Elizabeth/Lily b. 1860 Gosport, Hampshire. I cant seem to find them anywhere. They had a daughter Lucy in 1882 so must have been married before then but cant find them anywhere.

Someone please help!

So this is Lucy in 1891:

Name: Lucy Edith Smith
Age: 8
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1883
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: Samuel E C
Mother's Name: Lily Elizabeth
Gender: Female
Where born: Ipswich, Suffolk, England

Which would make this her birth:

Births Sep 1882
Smith Lucy Edith H Ipswich 4a 730


And that certificate would give you her mother's surname, which should go some way to helping you find more info!
