I think you have solved it for me. I have just found the military record for William Anderton Smith and he gives his parents names as William and Harriet. I will check for his birth details

Thank you very much for your help

Bedfordshire / Looking for Harriet Smith before her marriage
« on: Saturday 18 October 25 07:06 BST (UK)  »
Harriet Smith married William Harper on 1st December 1888 at Melbourn, Cambridgeshire full age . Her father was shown as George Smith Gatekeeper on Railway. 

Census records shows her place of birth as Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire. 1891 age 26 born 1865, 1901 age 38 born 1863 and 1911 age 48 born 1863

Can anyone help me find her in census records before her marriage

Thank you for all the links. I will check these out and hopefully see where I fit into this family.

I think you could be right about James McBlane Snr being the possible father.  I have a DNA match with a Michael McBlane 1956- 2023 predicted as my 4th cousin or half 3rd cousin 1x removed. Michael's father was William James and he was the son of James McBlane born 1894.

I am probably clutching at straws here but I am curious about his middle name being McBlane.
There is a James Martin McBlane born 27th May 1894 Auchinleck. 1901 census address Stable Row Auchinleck Ayrshire age 7 with parents James Martin McBlane and Agnes maiden name Crawford ( I can't find a marriage for this couple).

On 10 July 1903 James sailed on the Ship Colombia shows status Married age 43 Occ. Miner. Destination port New York. He must have returned to Agnes at Auchinleck because they had a daughter Margaret (Maggie) born 18th May 1906 Auchinleck Ayrshire. 
By December 1911 the family are living in New York.
