In 1916, my gran Elizabeth Ethel Ward married Stanley George Smith in the West Ham district
They separated but never divorced, my gran died in 1960. She lived with my grandad Arthur Albert McKanna until she died and had my dad.
Elizabeth, known as Ethel, was born in Nov 1893 in Stratford, Essex. From their marriage cert I put Stanley's birth year at about the same time, but I have no idea where he was born. His father is named at Sydney Smith, a stableman.
I would like to find more about Mr Smith to fill in my tree gaps, when he died (I think it was after my gran as he is mentioned on the death cert, without the word deceased after his name), his mother's name etc.
I would appreciate any help if looking for Smiths sounds like a challenge.
Many thanks
Amanda
