Hi there groom yes I have seen this 1871 census record and you are correct George was from John Stonebanks first marriage to Elizabeth .Mary Ann Goodwin was his second wife who he married in 1863. I decided to follow Mary ann's line as the name Goodwin has come up before in my family tree could be just a coincidence though.
Just a wildcard to throw in to all you helpful people, I have come across a 1871 census record for Sydenham some time ago as follows;-
Eliza Reynolds B Smarden age 62
William Goodwin B Smarden age 29 B 1842 Brother
William Smith B Egerton age 51 cousin
Horatio Russell b smarden age 19 nephew Do you think this could be my eliza smith wrong age???

Regarding other children of William and Eliza Smith. I Was only able to find Eliza Smith on the 1881 and 1891 census not for any other years so no info on other children or reference to William Smith.
The Birth Certificates I received from the GRO were.
1. Harriett born 5/4/1868 Lewisham to James Smith and Eliza Lumbars his occupation Coachman.
2. Harriett Elizabeth born 20/1/1868 Warehorne Aldington East Ashford.to George Smith and Mary Ann Banks his occupation farm labourer.

Hi there
Can anyone offer suggestions. I have a forebear Harriett Mary Smith who was baptised St Bartholomew's church Sydenham 19/5/1867.The lds record states her parents as William and Eliza Smith. I have sent to the gro London for  birth certificates the first two came back with the wrong parents, deciding to give it one more shot I asked them to search one year either side and have received the answer no record found with these parents. I have Harriett with her mother on the 1881 census living in Lewisham prior to that if I am correct with her grandparents John and Esther Smith in the 1871 census. Harriett marries Frederick Wallis between the 1881 and 1891 Census and also sadly passes away during this time leaving a baby boy William, who in the 1891 Lewisham census resides with his father and grandmother Eliza Smith. I have the marriage certificate of Harriett and Frederick which states her father as William Smith. Any help would be great. Barbara
