The best thing to do would be to order this Lily's birth certificate, giving Hilda as the mother's name as a reference checking point. |

Yes as far as I know he did marry Hilda. He never married my grandmother as she was already married and refused to divorce for some reason. I think her first husband abandoned her. |

Do you have any birth certs of children of Leonard and your grandmother ,it will only give his occupation but it might help |

I've looked through the marriage index from 1945 to 1955 and there is no marriage for a Hilda Tate to a Smith. |

I have my fathers birth certificate but thats no help as grandmother in her wisdom put her husbands name on the birth certificate. |

If it is any help, there is a Frederick (Freddy?) Smith registered in Q1 1951 with mothers maiden name of Johnson, also Chatham., so does reinforce the maiden name. |

Thank you Gail, I never had time to look for Freddy. To much of a coincidence not to be the ones. |

There's an Edwin J Tait on the electoral roll in Kent with a Jean D Tait. A son, Ashley Neil, born Chatham in 1985 MMN Roberts is at the same address. |

Looks like the same family had a son Stephen in 1992 in Chatham district also. Both names are linked to a Rosie in Quicksearch. |

Thats great thank you for all the help. THey would only be step relations as it is Leonard Smith that is my grandfather. I really need to find his marriage to Hilda Johnson or work my way backwards to connect the 2 as cousins. I have all the details about Leonard SMith so when I find his marriage I just hope he has put the correct fathers name to confirm he is the right one. |
