Alfred was born in 1903 and Joseph in 1905. They were the elder brothers of my Grandad Robert b 1907. until I found them on the 1911 census last week no-one in the family had any inkling of them. Does anyone know how I might go about finding out what happened to them? There are no matches with trees on here sadly. I need HELP!
Thanks

Gill

Hmm, food for thought, thanks guys. I thought that it was most likely that they had passed away early on, but with a surname like Smith!!
