Sorry I did put the wrong month of birth for Gladys Victoria Smith it was 25th August 1903.
Also looks like I have the wrong parents for her ( given to me by someone else) that is why I contacted GR to confirm I had been given the right ones, I always get such great help from you all

I have now found (I think ) the 1911 census for Frederick William Richardson born abt 1875 Burton upon Trent & Gertrude Annie Clarke Born abt 1877 Newark on Trent, living at 40 Alexandra Road Burton _On-Trent ,but there is no Gladys Victoria with them?

Have you got the birth cert for Gladys as there two possible marriges

Marriages Sep 1902 (>99%)
Richardson Frederick William Burton 6b 596

Have you found the parents at all after their marriage and Gladys' birth?

Were there any more children born?

What was Charles William's occupation, age?

Could they have emigrated?
