Frederick William SMITH
« on: Tuesday 12 January 10 18:43 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the above in the 1851 and 1861 census, born around 1847, Bath.
I've found him in the 1871 census with wife Elizabeth at Walcot (no children at this time).
Thanks in advance.

There is a candidate in Walcot, with a Father Henry; a Shoemaker.


Have you got your man's marriage papers, which will name his father and his trade?

Thank you both for your fast replies.
I have sent for that wedding certificate (it is the persons mentioned) perhaps I should have held my horses until the info arrives.

The wedding certificate arrived this afternoon, but unfortunately it is blank where the father's name should be.
Does this mean (as it seems to me) that Frederick was born out of wedlock?

The only 'fully named' man was born in the Bedminster District in 1850. On the 1851 census his parents are John and Matilda.

Added: He is married and in Worcs in 1871.
