I'm trying to trace Frank Smithson who was born in Lancashire (Rawtenstall) around 1918, married Elsie Irene Juckes and then went to Australia without her around 1950. Does anyone know of a Frank Smithson who might fit the bill? I'd love to hear from you. Thank you

More in hope than expectation!

Many thanks - I don't know how I managed to miss him ! Thank you both for waking me up - and yes - now I think about it, I believe Elsie did marry twice. Thanks again

It's not that one Pauline. He died in 1917 unfortunately.
