Hi,

I don’t suppose they have any link to an Edward Terence Smith at all? As that’s my gt-grandad and I’m at a dead end! He married an Olga Winifred Harper.

Thanks,
Pia

Hi all,

I’ve been desperately trying to trace my family tree out for ages now! My next step will probably be the British Library.

My grandfather was Lovell Edward Francis Smith (he has a brother – still alive and a sister – deceased). Their parents were Edward Terence Smith & Olga Winifred Harper – married on 26th December 1931 in Bombay. Edward was born around 1890 and Olga about 1907. Olga’s father was Benjamin Harper – judging from the name I’d assume he was British and married a local girl as Olga was Indian but not sure to what degree. Edward’s father was James Smith – I hear him and Edward were from Kettering, UK. Edward & Olga lived in Kirkee and he lost half an arm at one point. I’m really at a dead end and don’t have much more info to go on, only a few photos and stories which I’m not sure how true they are!

Any advice or family on here? Do the names ring a bell? I’ve only ever been able to find their marriage so far.

Thanks,
Pia
