I'm trying to find out more information about my great grandfather William Charles Smith who was born around 1836 in Stoke Newington, Middlesex, England. He married Emma Farley and had 8 children including my granfather, George.
By 1873 the family had moved to Limpsfield in Surrey.
I am keen to find out about his ancesters and to make contact with any other descendants via the 8 children: George, Arthur, Edith, Ellen, Emily, Emma, Chrales and Alice.
I do hope somebody can help.

Hi Maxine and
Welcome smith-r55,
Thanks very much for sharing your Smith interests. If you hadn't already got the 1871 data that Maxine found, I'm sure it will be most helpful to you.

A bit more info - for if you haven't yet got William and Emma's marriage certificate
(which of course should give their father's names and occupations).

The old Chertsey Reg District registers are now held by the North Surrey district (Weybridge). Information for obtaining copy certificates directly from the Weybridge Registry Office, and their contact details can be found at.........
