In 1901 Leslie is visiting Blackpool with his grandmother Margaret Smith and his uncle Charles Smith so I'm sure that is the correct family Alviegal

Just to totally confirm that Leslie A Smith on the 1939 register is the Leslie Albrecht Smith whose birth i found, and baptism alviegal found, in Blackburn, here is another transcript of the baptism that includes the birthdate. 7th June 1893, just the same as on the 1939 register

Name: Leslie Albrecht Smith
Birth Date: 7 Jun 1893<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Baptism Date: 13 Sep 1893

Kucinta has posted his baptism showing his name as Leslie Albrecht Smith. Alviegal has posted his parents marriage showing his mother's maiden name as Albrecht.

Dear Jennifer,

if you read the thread, I have already demonstrated that there was a Leslie Albrecht Smith born at the same time as the Leslie A Smith on the 1939 register, and alviegal has found that same Leslie Albrecht Smith's baptism, and also the marriage of his Albrecht mother to his Smith father.

The Sewell marriage and birth of Colin A Smith in Salford in 1931 also tie in pretty well with the information on the 1939 register.

Yes - the Denton family on the 1939 is the correct one but no mention of the name Albrecht. It seems that the Paddington Albrecht Smiths are not connected. I wonder if the Leslie A Smith is an Albrecht.

So this looks like Colin's birth, and it ties in with that Sewell-Smith marriage I posted for Leslie A Smith and Amy Sewell also in Salford RD


Births Sep 1931 Smith Colin A Sewell Salford 8d 489

Here's that marriage again:

Marriages Mar 1931
Sewell Amy Smith Salford 8d 446
Smith Leslie A Sewell Salford 8d 446

Yay, Alviegal, think we've cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D
