Denyer Family Hove Sussex

This is what I have found and the DENYER SMITH marriage doesn' t tally with the census.

Nathan was in the 3rd. Bn.     King's Royal Rifle Corps abd died 21 August 1918

There is a marriage of Alfred Jupp DENYER to Mary Jane SMITH in 1887, but according to the 1911 census they had been married twenty  years and only had two children born  alive.

This is looks like the corrrect marriage for Nathan's parents.

 Alfred DENYER (no middle name) to:-Mary Jane WALDER June quater 1895 vol 2B page 399, this looks more  like the marriage of your great grandparents. This also fits with Victoria's name.

But if the ancestor is Frederick Smith - surely that means thhe Alfred Jupp marriage to Mary Jane Smith is the right one? But that the half sib!ings of Nathan, Mary Victoria and Edward are wrong because they belong to the Alfred Denyer to Mary J walden marriage.

So Frederick didnt have those half siblings at all. And wasnt with them in 1901 because it wasnt his family at all!

I had not seen the information about Frederick William SMITH when I posted, so if the Mary Jane SMITH marriage it the correct one Nathan, Edward and Victoria are a different family altogether.

Forget the family we have been following! Forget Nathan and Victoria and co!

Here is your family in 1901

Little Hill, Pulborough Sussex
Walter Andrews 37 shepherd bn Petworth
MaryAnn Andrews 31 bn Fittleworth
Alfred 7
Alice 5
William 2
Mary J Denyer 27 married visitor bn Cold Waltham?

Frederick may well have been an only child, as he said.

Y E S !!! Thank you!  So I guess I will look at Davis in Brighton/Hove !  My Granfather passed away in November 1975.  He took so many secrets to his grave!

Thank you again.

Ok so I scrolled up and found the rest of your post   Should have read before I replied!  ha! ha!  I do have a picture of my great-grandmother in front of Wish Cottage with a girl named Victoria so perhaps it was her niece?  So confusing!  I do know that Mary Jane Smith married Alfred Jupp Denyer in 1907 and there was the 1911 census that said she had 3 living children and assuming she did not include my Grandfather as he was in Canada by that time.  So Nathan and Edward are not my great uncles then ... hmmmmm  More questions than answers now!
