Member Since: January 2005 Posts: 99 Send Message	Hi all, info I have William Smith married Sarah Crook 8/07/1877 croydon Father name William Smith I had a potential birth for William in 1854 but I am not sure if it is him. It says his fathers name was William ( a sin marriage cert) and Mothers name Elizabeth Lock but I really do not know if this is his parents or not as lack evidence so any info you can find on him and previous gens would be so helpful thanks in advance Kevin :-D
