Hi Pardy,

This looks like the marriage:

Dec 1899 Lambeth 1d 975
William Bozon Smallwood - Edith Rebecca Riddlestorffer
 
Let's see if we can find them on the 1901 census ...

1901
RG13/404 64 24
Lambeth, Surrey
170, York Rd
William B Smallwood, head, 33, Liquor Sampler, b. Pershore
Edith R, wife, 33, b. Brighton

Ties in with Edith's birth:
Jun 1866 Brighton 2b 23
Edith R Riddlestorffer

[Tati]

Wonder if this is William's birth?

William Vavasour B Smallwood
Jun 1867 Pershore 6c 393

Thanks all this info:definatley seems to tie in with what I know,it's really helpful

There's a member submitted record on the IGI:

William Vavasour Boyon Smallwood Pedigree
Christening 2 June 1867   Nauntonbeauchamp, Worcestershire
Father William John Smallwood, mother Olliffe Rose

If it's correct then this should be William - his name is William T (or J) on the census though  

1871

Claines, Worcestershire

Actually I have already contacted Claines church and they don't think he is the one I am looking for. I think I will get a copy of the  birth cert. for William smallwood born in Pershore and see who the mother is.

[Tati]

Then again there probably aren't hundreds of William J Smallwood, Clerk in Holy orders. Do you have dad's occupation off the marriage cert? Were there any Smallwood witnesses?

 

[pardy]

Yes,Ingot his occupation off the marriage certificate,which also says he was deceased at the time of the marriage.The witnesses were Albert E Dodson and Elijah J Flint
