She isn't at home with them in 1911.

......Minnie smith born in Stourbridge about 1892/3to mercy e smith

The people living at 35 Love Lane in 1911 were William and Hannah SMITH.

I think you might mean sister to Mercy E. who is named as 'Elizabeth' in 1911.

This marriage might be worth checking:

Marriages Dec 1911

Names on the same page:

ADAMS,    Charles H       
BODEN,    Bertha B        
SMITH,    Minnie        
WELLINGS,  Arthur E   

Stourbridge    6c   251

Looking at birth registrations I think the couples were ADAMS/SMITH and WELLINGS/BODEN.

The ADAMS/SMITH births in Stourbridge I can see are to a different couple, not Charles and Minnie.

You are correct about the pairings Debra, although Minnie's surname mis-transcribed on West Midland BMD  :-\

West Midlands BMD

ADAMS   Charles H   SAULT   Minnie   1911   Brierley Hill, St Michael
BODEN   Bertha B   WELLINGS   Arthur E   1911   Brierley Hill, St Michael

jaynieb - you would need to obtain the marriage certificate to check it's the correct Minnie

Do you have Minnie's exact date of birth?
