I'm not aware of where you live, but do you realise that Surrey is a County, not a town, in other words it's a huge area in England and this surname you are asking us to search for is Smith - about the most common name in the country.

Might I suggest that you find him in the 1911 census which you can search for yourself http://www.1911census.co.uk/ and then when you have more information you can give us more details ie birthplace would be good, if he's married by 1911 then you can search for the marriage details and from the certificate you can let us have his father's name and their address at the time of marriage to help.

Just to finally clarify- are we supposed to search for a male - Frederick? or female - Louise?

cant see a Birth Index entry with Fred* as a middle name, but this lad caught my eye ...

Births Jun 1888  
 
SMITH  Frederick Lewis     Godstone vol 2a page 185

will have a look in 1901, would be better if there were other names / places to help qualify ....

started with 1891 in case it gave us clues as to which place within Godstone Regn District he was born.


Please note that in the absence of any real qualifying information, this is a best-guess approach.

If you have a Marriage Cert, it may help.


This looks like him .....
