Lots of information again...
thank you all so much....
so I'm a little confused ... where does it look like the Bisp family come into it, was that Bertha Smart's mothers maiden name?

And if I'm looking right, Bertha probably died 1950 as that's the death reg that's in Wales and looking more likely! Which means she may well be somewhere on the 1939 in Wales
:-D
Hopefully will find her :-)

Thanks everyone so far !

Reading this post, I think safc is saying that Bertha Elizabeth (Elizabeth Bertha) was illegitimate and was born before her mother married Arthur Smart. In the GRO for her, as Elizabeth Bertha, there is no MMN shown but we know it was Bisp.

Her sisters show as

Hannah - MMN Bliss
Alice, Hilda, Florence (Louisa Florence) and Lily as Bisp
Can't find Esther - but there is Ethel Bisp

So agree you need to get the marriage certificate to Charles Bowen and see if a father is named :-)
