Hi Pardy,
This looks like the marriage:
Dec 1899 Lambeth 1d 975
William Bozon Smallwood - Edith Rebecca Riddlestorffer
Let's see if we can find them on the 1901 census ...

Wonder if this is William's birth?

There's a member submitted record on the IGI:
William Vavasour Boyon Smallwood Pedigree
Christening 2 June 1867 Nauntonbeauchamp, Worcestershire
Father William John Smallwood, mother Olliffe Rose
If it's correct then this should be William - his name is William T (or J) on the census though :-\

Actually I have already contacted Claines church and they don't think he is the one I am looking for. I think I will get a copy of the birth cert. for William smallwood born in Pershore and see who the mother is.
-
Then again there probably aren't hundreds of William J Smallwood, Clerk in Holy orders. Do you have dad's occupation off the marriage cert? Were there any Smallwood witnesses?
-
Yes,Ingot his occupation off the marriage certificate,which also says he was deceased at the time of the marriage.The witnesses were Albert E Dodson and Elijah J Flint
