I have found on the 1881 census for East Molesey My ggrandfather John R Smith born in Walton . age 25 ,His wife Eliza age 21 born in Feltham and daughter my grandmother Annie E Smith age 2 months born in East Molesey. The 1891 Census shows Elizabeth 35 and Annie 10. John r is deceased So I know I am on the right track. I cannot find any birth for Annie or Marriage for her parents. Can any one suggest I have scrolled Ancestry until I cannot focus. Thanks .Keith In Oz ps. If I could find the maiden name of Annies mum that would be AMAZING.

Was your John R Smith's middle name Robert - and was his father Thomas who was a newsagent?

If so, then Ancestry has a marriage on 8 July 1879 at Twickenham, Middlesex of a John Robert SMITH whose occupation is given as painter (father Thomas, a newsagent) and Eliza Lunn GARDNER (spinster). John Robert's age is given as 23 and Eliza's 20.

There is a birth registration on Freebmd of an Annie Elizabeth SMITH - March Q 1881, Kingston Registration District (2a/345) which could be your Annie E as Kingston covers East Molesey. If the above marriage is the one you are looking for, then you would need to send for a copy of the birth certificate for this Annie Elizabeth to see if the parents are John Robert and Eliza.
