Nyx already posted that one, Malyon, plus a death.

Presumably you were aware of this birth in the Channel Isles:
Mary Winifred Smart
BIRTH: 23 Nov 1896 - Saint Pierre Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands

Yes I believe this is Ena my mother in law living with her stepfather. It is understood that she also had a stepmother. Will try to find a record of Frederick's second marriage and possible death of that wife. Also her stepbrother Roland was believed to have come to Lincolnshire too. Thank you.

If that date of birth for Frederich Smith is correct, then registered June quarter 1870.

There is a Frederick George Smith born in June quarter 1870, in Tendring.....

Births Jun 1870
Smith Frederick George Tendring 4a 277

SMITH, FREDERICK GEORGE MANN
GRO Reference: 1870 J Quarter in TENDRING Volume 04A Page 277

but cannot see suitable marriage of parents with Henry Smith marrying Miss Mann.

Added:
More likely a Robert Smith and Ann Mann as his parents, so wrong man.

(no idea on below folks!, thought might be worth a follow!, apologies, but really must go, spent far too long here this morning!)

Wow Chris! That newspaper article ties it all up nicely.

Correct date and place of birth for the child. And explains why she used the surname Graham on the other article.

Fabulous work

Chris, that looks really good! Excellent sleuthing from you. Certainly explains the name Graham being used. Well done!

(well looks to be her, it started with an idea to look for a John Smart with wife Caroline on Census, and that followed, then putting caroline smart croughton on newspaper search)

No idea on name Grant though...

(Essex Record Office might have more perhaps, Admission?, below from google)

Tendring Poor Law Union was formed on 16th November 1835. ....
Essex Record Office, Wharf Road, Chelmsford CM2 6YT.
Holdings include: Births (1839-1930);

Brilliant. Thanks everyone. Some of the most recent events are known to us and the Croughton area Smarts I had found but discounted. The article concerning maintenance is new to us though. Will digest all your information and see what happens. The 1939 info is definitely Ena and stepfather. We know Roland was in Lincolnshire just after WWIi until his death after marrying aunt Helen in Palestine. Sorry error re Frederick George marriage certificate just gives Frederick. Ena Frances was born at Heath House Tendring which we think was a Workhouse. Thanks again.

Another coincidence - Roland had a daughter who he named Priscilla !!!! If it is Caroline Priscilla as in newspaper article where does Winifred come from and why did Ena put John Smith deceased on her marriage certificate ?

No idea barbara!, a lot of names, and a lot of ???, lol...

No other Birth under Smart 1917 Tendring District.

Chris :)

(maybe she went into state confusion after Death of her Mother 1912, if it is her!)

Could you tell me please what site the information from 1939 came from

Barbara- the 1939 register is on Find My Past
