I was wondering if anyone could help me please? My father is now 76. He has never known his fathers name or who he was. I have just found out his father was a man called reginald smith who lived in hanley. stoke on trent, staffordshire. He was born in 1910. he had 2 sisters. there names were lilian and maud. There parents names were samuel and madeline smith. I was wondering if anyone new of this family and if there were any living relatives? I would love to be able to contact them and im sure my father would love to meet the part of his family he has missed out on for the past 76 years.
thankyou and kind regards.
Lisa Fry nee smith.

I have found the family which you have mentioned in the 1911 census rose through a family member from my mothers side. Actually finding my dads dads name was a shock and something he'd always wanted to know. I am very new at this and have only just started to build my family tree. Its very exciting and im loving every minute. It would be wonderful to find any living relatives on this side of the family. It is the correct family which you have. The same as the family tree ive been looking at.
Thank you for your help and i would be most grateful for anything else you can find out for me.
