Hi everyone.
I'm trying to trace a Lewis Smith, his wife and son.
Wife's name not known, son's name Geoffrey.
They lived at Outwood Wakefield and Lewis was born around 1904, he was one of a large family. Their names are as follows.
Rowland 1903 Ivy 1900 Cyril 1899 Alonzo 1897 Ida 1914 -1956 Dorothy 1907 Leonard 1908 and Ernest. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Thelma

Thank you everyone, this all fits together now, the time, place and everything. I think Geoffrey was born around 1935, in Outwood, and I know he moved from the area quite a long time later either just before or just after he got married. Thank you again.
