BRIGGS Herbert Smith Derby 7b 1545
Smith Gladys V Briggs Derby 7b 1545

Why would Gladys smith live with the Richardson,s

Think you need to get her birth cert for her parents names

Sorry I did put the wrong month of birth for Gladys Victoria Smith it was 25th August 1903.
Also looks like I have the wrong parents for her ( given to me by someone else) that is why I contacted GR to confirm I had been given the right ones, I always get such great help from you all

I have now found (I think ) the 1911 census for Frederick William Richardson born abt 1875 Burton upon Trent & Gertrude Annie Clarke Born abt 1877 Newark on Trent, living at 40 Alexandra Road Burton _On-Trent ,but there is no Gladys Victoria with them?

Just to follow on Austin ,S post

Have you got her actual birth cert as there are other possible marriages Smith/ Upton

Have you found the parents at all after their marriage and Gladys' birth?

Were there any more children born?

What was Charles William's occupation, age?

Could they have emigrated?

I have a Gladys Victoria Smith born 25/9/1903 at Derby died 1975 Derby, she married a Herbert M Briggs (born 27/9/1882 died 1952) in 1924 at Derby 1939 Register has them living at 11 Dickens Square Derby.
I have her parents as Charles William Smith & Emily Upton who married in 1902 at Burton upon Trent.
I have looked on 1911 Census for a Gladys Victoria Smith born 1903 Derby with parents Charles William & Emily with no luck?

Any help appreciated
