Thank you Maureen and PricklyHolly, so possibly great minds think alike and we are all on the right track.
So we just need Albert Edward Bancroft to have a mother maiden name Elliot......

Thank you Maureen. I had just been looking at marriages between Smith and Sarah in 1885 (a foolhardy venture) but the first one I came across as a possible

Marriages Mar 1885
SMITH Charles William Basford
7b 121


Elliott Sarah Basford
7b 121


Hodgett Sarah Elizabeth Basford
7b 121

but the only solution is going to be a birth certificate.

I have found a marriage which seems to fit but no Bancroft match

Marriages Sep 1902
Smith Arthur William Nottingham
7b 708

Shelton Elizabeth Ann Nottingham
7b 708

and I am now even more perplexed!

Do Albert and Jane have Bancroft parents in 1901 please?

Looking at the image...........it states all the Bancrofts are all 1/2 (half) brothers and sisters!

Arthur and Elizabeth married under one year.

I have come unstuck again!
My target is

Births Mar 1896
Bancroft Albert Edward Basford
7b 241

In 1901 he seems to be

1901
Bancroft Albert E 1896 Nottingham Nottinghamshire Nottinghamshire, Nottingham

and in 1911 I have found in Belper, all born Bulwell, Notts

BANCROFT ALBERT EDWARD M 1896 15 Belper Derbyshire
BANCROFT JANE F 1899 12 Belper Derbyshire
BANCROFT OLIVE PATIECE F 1901 10 Belper Derbyshire
BANCROFT EDWIN HERBERT M 1904 7 Belper Derbyshire

but can anybody tell me who they are living with please? Their maternal grandparents whose surname I do not know???

Many thanks,
Frances
