you could look for a marriage between Sidney Smith and one of the maiden names to see if any match

Sidney is named as Elsies father on both of her marriage certs and his occupation is General Labourer.1st marriage 1934 in Huddersfield to a Cecil Mulligan and second marriage in 1943 in Crewe to John Stephen Hutchinson.
I know Elsies date of birth from her daughter.

Yes i had to edit it which i did.

Whether someone reported it or something i do not know,it was'nt deleted by me.I needed all what was on there to follow up what people sent me.

Believe me i understand how much work goes into researching.

Luan this is what I would suggest,
1. Do you have the address in Huddersfield when Elsie married? If so you could contact Huddersfield Library and ask for an Electoral Roll look up and see if Sidney Smith is there. They are very good and searched a 5 yr period for me and as it took less than half an hour they did not charge.

2. Contact Huddersfield Registrar (google the address). Tell them you have been searching for a birth cert for ages and have come across one that may be connected in Huddersfield. Give Elsie’s name, exact dob and father’s name and ask if they could check the one with a mother’s maiden name of Taylor so that if it is the right one you can purchase it. I have done this a few times by e-mail and have always had a good response.

3. Contact the GRO at Southport and ask if it is possible to get a birth cert with exact dob, name and father’s name. There are about 20 Elsie Smith births during the 4 Quarter of 1912 (there are some with a second name also).

Good Luck Jennifer
