Did Joe marry Mary A F Mackenzie in 1911 in Leicester.
If so then there's a birth for Lord J F Smith in 1916 in Leicester, mmn Mackenzie

Name: Dick Smith

Nationality: British
Birthplace: Woolwich, Engalnd
Hometown:
Born: 1886-02-10
Died: 1950-01-00
Age at Death: 63

Births Mar 1886
SMITH Richard Woolwich 1d 1321

The only way, to do his ancestors, as the surname is Smith. is to buy his birth certificate .

This will give his dad's name & age .............just hope it is not JOHN !!!

OR his nephew Lord Smith may have done his family tree already.

Why not write to the address I sent .............

better than ringing as he is elderly & if he is like my dad,
deaf as well !!!

A lot of elderly people have telephones just for emergencies.
