Hi, I am looking for a William Smith who became a RC priest in Portsmouth (at least I think he was catholic). William was born 1885 and died 1947. I am sorry that this is all the information I have. I had written to a priest in Portsmouth and he was not able to help me.
Can anyone help me with some leads. I have tried the censuses but again no luck.

You could try the Portsmouth Diocesan Archive

It was the same family but in 2005 I wasn't sure which of the children were priest. I have since found a family member who was able to tell me it was William but that was all they could tell me.
I have looked at both the 1901 and 1911 censuses under both Alverstoke and Gsoport, no luck.
Could he have joined the church from a young age of 14?

For the 1911 census, try looking for a William Smith who was born in Gosport c1887. He wouldn't necessarily have been living in Gosport in 1911.

Thank you, Thank you.
I looked at the one and didn't realise what Theological meant. I should know better than not too follow through.
Thank you again.
