Can anyone help with the mine field that is the Smith Family?
My grandfather was William henry smith born 1914 sparkbrook. Parents
henry Smith and Mary Elizabeth(late lee nee lawrence). Henry's occ on Williams birth cert was that of Dairymans milk man and address was 3 stratford terrace, Bolton rd, birmingham. Henry's marriage to Mary E was in 1910 at at matthews church Walsall. His occ is down as a polisher, address 26 High street. Fathers name is George Smith occ brass dresser.
On the 1881 census I have a possible family with Henry's parents george and Elizabeth. Could anyone help with this family?

I found this in the 1891 Census... Could well be your George Smith with his sister Jane Lawrence. (I wounder if that's how Henry met Mary Elizabeth late Lee nee Lawrence?)
