I am trying to find information about my great grandfather Geoffrey Lloyd Smith. I do not know much about him as my father, who passed away two years ago, did not have any contact with his father or mother's family in general.... Please could anyone shed any light on Geoffrey Lloyd Smith? All I know is that he was born c1905, came from the Witney/Oxfordshire area and married a woman called Winifred Mary Smith and had one son (that I know of) called Geoffrey William Smith.
Thanks very much!! :)

If you buy Geoffrey's birth certificate it will give you his parents names and his mothers maiden name, which will help you to find them in the census records.
