	How very strange (and lacking imagination :)) Take it mother didnt remarry? So on the birth cert John was a Smith? - the actual marriage cert, what did he give for fathers name and occupation?

John was born 1869 in Hampshire s/o George Hickley. When George changed his name to Thomas Smith (I wonder why!!!) the whole family were Smiths in the 1881 Census. Can you add to this?
