Thank you all for your help.

I wonder if she was born after her mother married a Smith i will look for a marriage for Lawerence and Smith thank you Vivienne for that.

I have ordered the marriage cert and she was born in 1921 according to her death in 1996.

Thank you all.

Hi Vivienne,

I just called my step dad he says Lawrence rings a bell for some reason i am going to order that cert so thank you so much for that, she must have been brought by a Smith because on my step dads birth it has his mothers maiden name as Smith.

Thank you so much would not have found it without your help out there.

Did they have any middle names?

Zena

Zena Report 15 Jul 2009 12:44

I dont know about middle names i think i will have to give him a call back later when he finishes work later.

Eva was born about 1938 he was told she was a bridesmaid at his moms wedding and she was 6 at the time but of course i cant see it.

I think i will have to wait for the certs to come see what gives me

Thank you Viv for your help.

So it certainly looks like Constance beat the marriage then!
Hope her cert turns up with a fathers name on it.

Do consider of course that there may be no smith/lawrence marriage as one of them may have been married to someone else so they just did the age old thing of living in sin.

Well done and thanks for the update.

But again something to bear in mind,constance may not have the same father as the rest!
But taking into considerstion how soon they married after the birth of Constance maybe it is the same father.

I was thinking the same i dont know whether to follow the Smith line but my step dad called him grandad and his mom called herself a Smith i think i will with reading what i put.

Thanks again Viv
