Yes Louisa's marriage, and a family members will.

I will have to keep digging and badgering family, between the forum, personal dedication and family maybe there will be another breakthrough .

Great tip We have diversed from my original post but I love the way we get to realise other information by chatting on threads.

That's true. As you can see I'm still a novice at this ancestry tracing

I really appreciate all of the help you have given ... I thought maybe Fred jnr would of been born in the 3rd qtr as the burial states he was 14 months of age?

Thank you so much!! Yes this is a son of Frederick and Louisa. They resided at 12 Station road in 1900. Clearly they were living there before that too

I did find a Frederick Smith born and died in Aston in 1899 on ancestry, but couldn't find a record on BMD showing the mmn.

Thank you again.Maybe at the time the photograph was taken Albert Worked at Wrensons. Do you know of any photographs of the owners?

Thank you Lynn.

George and Albert are the sons of Frederick and Louisa. They also had a son named Joseph and two daughters.

Most unusual to not give a son his father's name. I have come across a few oddities with this particular Smith family.

For some strange reason Albert Edwin ( Edward) has been registered on his sister's marriage certificate as her father. Occupation Shopkeeper. (Albert is the brother of the bride not father)

Re-reading some notes I have, it appears Albert Edwin's occupation is documented on a marriage certificate as Shopkeeper in 1931.

Sounds positive ☺️

There is a Henry George @ 337 Heath street who is a shopkeeper on the 1921 trade directory whose occupation is stated as shopkeeper. Would it be common for the Christian names to be reversed on documents.

All of the above information ties in with my tree information. Thank you, I know for certain that the young man is Albert E Smith. A family member gave the photo to me but doesn't have any information to go with it. We have evidence from a will that George was residing at 283 Coventry road in 1950.

Thank you. I have George's middle name as George Henry born 1900. As yet I haven't a confirmed name for his wife. Looking at the photograph of the shop I think it is probably from late 30s/40s. Albert Smith was born. 1902.

Thank you for your response. The only information I have is the young man is Albert Smith and the older person maybe George Smith. We know that George had a shop but not sure where or when. Sorry to be so vague, I know it's a longshot...

Thank you for your response. I found this record but like you I don't know the graveyard. As suggested I will follow this up with the church. Thank you again.
