on the 1901 census my SMITH great great grand parents had 2 grandchildren with them. One of them ALice Smith I was able to find the baptism and so was able to attach her to her father and found her parents marriage. Her mother probably died during child birth as the mothers death and Alices birth are registered the same quarter. I couldnt find a baptism for Joseph SMith so found the only possible birth in the area and ordered the certificate but proved nothing to do with mine.
The only possible theory I could come up with is that Joseph was Alices older brother but born before their parents marriage. I did find a birth which related to this but decided not to order the certificate as its not my direct line but he would be a great uncle. So today the 1911 census has changed him from Joseph SMITH into Joseph Henry GIBSON Step son.:D
