Find Ancestors

I am trying to find out more information on Arthur Smith and his father Edwin Smith. Arthur was my great grandfather and he married Lily Annie Cobley Allen on 16th November 1915 in Birmingham. He is listed on the marriage certificate as an Electrical Engineer. Arthur was born in 1888. I can't find Edwin in any of census records. His profession is a shoemaker. I don't know when or where he was born. I don't even know the Mother's name. Arthur is also missing from the Census returns of the time. Arthur is an Electrical Engineer on the marriage certificate.
Any help would be appreciated.
