Well I do not know what to say. The same two addresses are coming up again and again in the census baptisms and marriages offered you. I thoght you acknowledged the Smith /Broomhead marriage. as correct.
I did ask you for some confirmed data at the beginning of your thread but you did not answer my request.

Sorry, so many things to double check and confirm. The last 3 posts are all correct. They are all confirmed relatives.
Because of all of the help, posts are being submitted as we are replying to earlier ones.
I stated in the opening that I was able to find Henry Smith in the 1841 and 1851 census, but needed help working out which one was the correct one. I really do think you are right in your research, but I have to be sure.
I am now trying to find deaths of Henry Smiths at a young age, this would explain why they can't be found in the 1851 census.

OK, I have found 10 Henry Smith deaths in Bethnal Green between 1841 and 1851. Problem is, it doesn't state their ages.

Have corrected the surnames for Harriet and Charles. It looks like Jason on the census, but knowing it is Town, it becomes clear to see.. Perhaps because she had a mental illness, as this wasn't stated on any census either.

Now the 1871 looks promising Kira.
I have no records for Emma and Caroline ...yet but all of the others fit well. This was one of the census I couldn't find. TY I will delve into the daughters..perhaps they died young.

Kira, I can confirm the 1871 census is correct. That's 2 more relatives to add!!
I can also add that Emma and Caroline both died at the same time in 1871.
I remembered the 1911 census, which a friend found for me, has living and dead children. Henry and Eliza had 14 children, 7 died. So there are more to find.

2 Elizabeth Smiths to the same parents born 2 years apart? 14 Sep 1865 is Lizzie, later Elizabeth Cason. Who is the 10 May 1867? Or is that a typo, and Harriet's Baptism date?
