    Hi

    Not having a lot of luck but just adding a bit more info that you probably know but will help others looking.

    William Smart marries Emma Calloway in Sep 1892 Dudley district.
    Florence born Sep 1896
    Hannah Elizabeth born Sep 1893

    1901 living with parents
    1911 both girls living with the Corfields as Nieces so some relation there.
    Emma and William both die leaving wills.

    After that there are a few marriages for Florence Smart but I can't decide if any fit.

    Will keep looking

        I wonder if this is Hannah in 1939, but if so, Florence is not with her (I was hoping!!!!). Just in case you are interested ................

        61 Colville Road , Birmingham C.B., Warwickshire, England
        Hannah E L Gibbs 05 Sep 1894 Unpaid Domestic Duties
        Arthur Gibbs 24 Feb 1894 Painter Maintenance
        Nancy Payne (Gibbs) 30 Dec 1922 Sewing Machinist Sanitary

        from image:-

        Nancy's name was changed from Gibbs to Payne reflecting her marriage, dated 28-4-58. Plus there is a note in the last column *C/86 ........... I have no idea what that means!

        A note in the last column for Arthur says P.P Fire Brigade Southall

                        Judith, that all sounds very good but as you say, certificates are necessary.

                          I followed that one to Judith, because of the Thelma connection. I didn't mention it before because I thought that one was probably the Florence Maud Smart who was born March 1896 Dudley and her parents appear to be possibly John Smart and Lizzie Saxon, who married June 1895 Dudley.

                              June date of birth suggests the Q3 birth registration. I think the Florence Maud born Dudley Q1 1896 died aged 1 in Q1 1897.

                                Sorry Judith, yes you are right. So the only stumbling block is the Maud middle name. I wonder why she would have added that?

                                    Could be she adopted a middle name when she married, plenty of my lot seem to have done this, or sometimes swapped their name for a slightly "posher" version.
