Hi Kim, as you quite rightly point out these are old postings and they might not be checking back.

You could click on their names to send direct messages which they'll be notified of if still active members.

Hi Jenny / Ruth,

A shot in the dark I know as this original post is 7 years old.

Ernest Leopold Smith and Ethel Francis Parsonson are my great grandparents on my fathers side.

If you'd like to get in contact - please do.

Hi Ruth

This message was left a long time ago, but have found the following for him.

If you get either of these certificates you will certainly get more info to help you.

Good luck.

Ernest Leopold Smith, unusual name, you'd think he'd be easy to find!! He married Ethel Frances Parsonson at the beginning of the first World War (c.1914) and had a son Leslie Parsonson Smith at the end of the War (1918) and then daughter, Sylvia in 1923. Unbelieveably, there are so many Ernest Smith's and Ethel Parsonson's that it is impossible to find the right one. If any of these names rings a bell with anyone, please contact me. Thank you Ruth
