Walter Lillywhite Smedley b.1849 Arundel

[Bathonian]

I've been tracing the Smedley's back and came to Walter Lillywhite Smedley who married Elizabeth b.1844  at Lynn, Norfolk. I must be missing something, but in this family the Smedley name disappears. Does anyone have a clue why I seem to have lost the Smedley name. Many thanks for any help in putting me back on track.

Not quite sure what you mean there - do you mean Walter and Elizabeth gave their children a different surname?  If so what was it?

[Milliepede]

Can you give an example of a census you have them on please as having trouble finding them 

Can't see a birth for that name in 1849 Arundel.

Maybe this one (1871 census).

Crystal ball's a bit murky tonight.

No signs of a Smedley surname in ANY apparently related records.

Thanks Pauline yes that could be it. 

I see no Smedley on other census either so need to know where you found the name please Bathonian.

No marriage to Elizabeth that I can see.

Which Smedley person leads back to Walter do you think?

Hi....

 It seems to appear with son Arthur b @1867.

In 1901 and 1911 Arthur is married to Agnes family name is Lillywhite.
 However he married as
 Arthur Lillywhite Smedley bach bricklayer father Walter Lillywhite Smedley.

Witness Harry Lillywhite
             Happy Frost.    Who later marry.

 Arthur's son Arthur also marries as Arthur Harry Smedleyfather given as Arthur Lillywhite Smedley.

  So how or why  does Arthur use the name Smedley?

 I can find Harry's birth in Leeds.  BUT cannot see an Arthur......any one else?
