Hi Kerry

I've had a look through registrations and found some information, but I don't know how much of this you already have.

Firstly, it seems that your Sydney always appears in records as Sidney George Smith. his death registration is:

Name: Sidney G Smith

Birth Date: abt 1882

Date of Registration: Mar 1922

Age at Death: 40

Registration district: Woolwich

Inferred County: London

Volume: 1d

Page: 1843

Ethel's is:

First name(s) ETHEL L J

Last name SMITH -

Birth year 1892

Age 30

Death quarter 1

Death year 1922

District Woolwich

County London

Volume 1D

Page 1846

It seems odd that they died so close together, and both at a relatively young age.

I found Ethel's birth registration:

Name: Ethel Louisa J Berry

Registration Year: 1892

Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar

Registration district: Camberwell

Volume: 1d

Page: 901

I couldn't find Sidney's as Sidney Smith is a common name, but I suggest get their marriage certificate, as this will show their fathers' names, and should allow them to be found on the census to give their place of birth. The marriage details are:

Name: Ethel Louisa J Berry

Registration Year: 1910

Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun

Registration district: St Marylebone

Inferred County: London

Volume: 1a

Page: 1117

Records on Page:

Name

Laura Frances Barnes

Ethel Louisa J Berry

William Henry Holland

Sydney George Smith

(on that one he was Sydney).

You can order a certificate on lie from

I think the current price is about £9.50 for UK, not sure how much for overseas.

I hope this is of some help to you.
