Hallo Poppy10
Like you I live in the Midlands, but I have friends in East Lothian so might be able to pick this up if you're still pursuing it.
My interest in the Smiths and the Gavines is that my house was built by a young widow called Violet Evaline Smith-Gavine (née Moody) who changed her name from Smith to Smith-Gavine shortly after marriage. She was the mother of Professor Sydney Smith-Gavine of Leicester.
So I don't know if you are related to them...
