I am trying to find descendants of Jack smith b1898 Deptford, Surrey who married Elsie May Murrell 22/11/1928 in Cuckfield, Sussex. Jack's father was Stephen Joseph SMITH b1859 Plumpstead, Kent, mother Lavinia? Stephen's father was John Wicker SMITH. Elsie May MURRELL b1902 Cuckfield, Sussex daughter of William James Murrell and Ada Saunders. I have the censuses but cannot trace Jack & Elsie since 1937. Please help as I have been trying to trace them for years and don't know where to go now!!!
