It is extremely unlikely that anyone connected with these names would see your post..
Look ar Search/ search all members trees to see if you can find the names then you can send the tree holder a pm.

This is directly connected to your other thread about LILY DRYDEN on which members gave considerable assistance, and you were advised to look in ‘search all member trees’
Haven’t you heeded that advice?

One post per topic, please, Glenise, as per site guidelines

Glenise has several threads on this family ( I’m on my IPad so can’t post them).

She has been told previously that she needs to check out the other members trees and that other family members are unlikely to find her posts.

I have the Dryden Elliston family

But not Smith side her first husband that is who I am trying to find
I do not need remarks of (“You can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink”) I find your comment insulting We not all tec savvy either so keep remarks to yourself



Dec q 1913
Smith Cyril M Beard Gloucester 6a 564 Gloucester


Not sure if this is correct Cyril
Marriages Mar 1941
Smith Cyril M Trenfield Gloucester C. 6a 980

I am obviously wanting to trace living family members eventually but Smith is difficult name to research

ErikaH Report 22 Aug 2022 19:48

You haven’t said if you’ve done anything about looking in ‘search all members trees’

You could buy recent death certs for details of informants

I gave you info about Cyril and his brother Sidney - any chance of a comment?

Cyril was single in 1939.
There is a closed record on the register, which COULD be a sister, born 1925

To find out if the 1941 marriage is his, get a copy of the cert. If it is, follow through on the Smith/Trenfield births on freebmd

As I remarked on your other thread, the SMITH family have NO CONNECTION to Lily’s ILLEGITIMATE SON.

They are extremely unlikely to have any knowledge which would be in any way relevant to him

Please bear this in mind………

Yes, it's quite clearly Ashdown, on the image on Ancestry.

She's not necessarily any relation to anyone else named on the cert.

There's this woman in 1871 - just as a possibility.
