There are 4 birth records for Sonny Smith and one for Sunny C Smith but none in Norfolk.

Could it have been a nickname ?

Hi Ginny & Mike*,
Been on the BMD, theres about 17!!
I am assured it was Sonny as another family member was named after him.

Hi Mike*,
Sonny was the son of Arthur 1882 as my first post, i haven't got access to 1911 to see if Arthur was still at home or married,
Sonny was born Norwich.
