Wondering if some kind person would do a 1901 census look up for Louise Fred or Frederick Louis Smith born 1888 living in Surry
Regards Sue

I'm not aware of where you live, but do you realise that Surrey is a County, not a town, in other words it's a huge area in England and this surname you are asking us to search for is Smith - about the most common name in the country.
Might I suggest that you find him in the 1911 census which you can search for yourself http://www.1911census.co.uk/ and then when you have more information you can give us more details ie birthplace would be good, if he's married by 1911 then you can search for the marriage details and from the certificate you can let us have his father's name and their address at the time of marriage to help.
Just to finally clarify- are we supposed to search for a male - Frederick? or female - Louise?
-
cant see a Birth Index entry with Fred* as a middle name, but this lad caught my eye ...
Births Jun 1888
SMITH Frederick Lewis Godstone vol 2a page 185
will have a look in 1901, would be better if there were other names / places to help qualify ....
-
started with 1891 in case it gave us clues as to which place within Godstone Regn District he was born.
Please note that in the absence of any real qualifying information, this is a best-guess approach.
If you have a Marriage Cert, it may help.
This looks like him .....

he's enumerated in the Military Overseas in 1911
theres a marriage in 1910 Croydon - Frederick L.
-
He married Annie Alchin . he died supposadly around 1912? then Annie remarried William Gardiner
-
ah, good the Croydon 1910 is correct then .... did he die abroad ?
-
I haven't a clue where he died there are so many family stories like descended from gypsies that he died on the Titanic (I did check this one with no luck) that he was a stoker. My family stopped at my mother till I started doing this Smith tree.
