My bad, the name on the certificate was Albert, my great grandfather. I just had a look. The Samuel was on my grandfather's side of the family.
Albert and Eliza Smith definite Grandparents. Their daughter was Elsie, my grandmother. They lived in the Hackney area all their life.

Definitely them, just had a look, and on the marriage certificate is has Albert as a Drayman.
Thankyou so very very much, everything makes perfect sense now, all the 'family' friends my mum remembers when she was young are her actual great aunts.
It would seem they stepped in when Eliza died to help Elsie and mum.
What I thought was a dead end has turned out to be a very happy result
