I have just found a relative on 1901 and 1911 that no one knew existed.

He is George Smith born to John Farrren Smith and Ellen in Leicester.

He had siblings of Harry, Polly, Arthur, John and William Henry, who was my paternal grandfather.

In the 1911 census is 18, but as Smith a near impossible name to research, wondered if anyone had him in their tree?
Thank you.
Any help would be appreciated

So was he a witness for the marriage of your grandfather ?

Wow, Thank you all for your help in researching George and his family.
I have no idea what happened to him, as no one in the family knew about him.

I hoped he might be in someone's tree to confirm whether he died young or lived a full life. Tracking Smith's is a nightmare, and seem to have them on all sides of families ancestors!

Thanks again

After the 1911 census I have no idea what has happened to him, but difficult to track with few leads. :-(
