On my grandfather's wedding certificate it names his father as Joseph George Willis Smith. I would like to find out his birth details if possible? I have no other information available apart from his son William John Smith b 23/12/1885 d 08/09/1946 married Elizabeth Ellen Jolley b 18/07/1885 d 30/11/1947 on 30/05/1909 in the Parish church, Camberwell London.

Many thanks for any help.
Regards,
Vanessa
