his children are
Sidney Smith 1911cen 29 b. chelsea

Hi,

I didn't pinpoint any births for Bertha, however I was just looking at Fulham. Unfortunately though the names are quite popular so it would be a guess with any births for them.

If you were to order the death certs for Edwin and Bertha it should state who registered their deaths and if there is a relationship to the person who registered them.
