Not quite sure what you’re asking.

Most people born in 1927 are unlikely to. E alive. The free website www,freebmd.org.uk should give you his birth, marriage and possibly his death. Have you looked for those.

If the name and Yorkshire are correct then he was born in Leeds in 1925 ( from freebmd). The mothers name was Metcalfe so he was possibly illegitimate.

I can see why I missed the Thirsk birth on freebmd because I looked for Metcalfe with the e.

Pauline probably needs to get the Metcalfe (e)/ Smith marriage certificate to confirm whether there is a fathers name.
