I am stuck with this one, as you can imagine the amount of John Smith's are to say the least plentiful.

The only helpful thing is that I have found George's and Alfred's birth. I'm sure how it works out, but Both of them have the same middle name "Frost". This was at some point hyphenated and I'm not sure at which point.

Alfred married Annie Margaret Brown using the name Frost-Smith and this has been the surname used past this point. However...
John also has the same Frost as he's middle name when he married Lydia Cevil in Q4 1872.

Any help will be greatly appreciated here, i'm going stir crazy trying to find John's family.
