Alfred and Elsie were living at 6 bk 116 Bissell St in 1939 so might be where the young Alfred was born.

Not sure why because this is it...

See post #27, post #47 and post #49 for my thoughts on that.

Walter Ernest Thomas death probably registered Mar 1907 Aston, aged 2. You can see it as a digital image on the GRO.

I did have a quick look to see id the Wolverhampton family were related but I didn't think it was. If I'm remembering correctly I think a lot of their children appear to die young.

Difficult to be certain but assuming that 15-17 are the ones at the end and the first long row is 1-10 then I'd guess no. 14 is the one on the top right of the open square just after the number 21.

The entry between the two houses would seem to indicate that 15 to 17 are the three houses round the corner at the end.

The access looks clear to me. Not like the other nearby courts where the access appears to be a covered entry between two houses but much more open from Hospital St.

I'm not sure if I'm getting confused (easy with Smiths) but I don't think any one said Walter died young. As per your op he died in WWI. There was a William who possibly died young but there are a number of possible deaths that could be his and no way to tell which (if any) is his.

I think there are at least 4 more daughters as well - Sarah Ann, Harriet, Elizabeth and Ann.

No mmn and we know names can be changed. I think this is the Elizabeth who 'married' Thomas Smith and if so then I'd say Oswin is Charles. Hospital St and Hockley St are close so Thomas Smith could still possibly be his father. Speculation only.

Looks like Hospital St for Elizabeth and not certain but the first letter of her son's name could be a C.

Going on the theory that Smith/Bishton is correct (far from certain) then in 1851... There is a possibility for Thomas Smith as a lodger of Thomas Peck in the St George parish of Bham. Age 21, occ. jeweller. There is also a possibility for Elizabeth Bishton as a lodger of Albert Griffiths also...

The Elizabeth Moulton who is on the same marriage reg. as Thomas Smith married a Samuel Brueton. So that tree is wrong. That Thomas Smith married an Elizabeth Oxford. They had a son called Charles but way too late, 1859.

Sometimes you can read too much into names or the absence of them. However in this case it appears that Hannah Blythe's maternal grandfather may have been a Richard. I'd be interested in seeing Charles senior's birth certificate.

They might be grandchildren from a different son. The ages are different and Lily is listed with her mother in 1901.

I think this is Thomas & Elizabeth in 1881... https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1881%2F0013536240&expand=true&tab=this

It's that mmn listed for their children (other than Charles) and on one of the censuses she is with her parents in Shropshire with 2 of their children.
