Hi This is the information I have obtained from marriage certificate for Alfred Ashley Smith
Alfred Ashley Smith was aged 25yrs Bachelor Profession a Carpenter in 1905 when he married Beatrice Norah Beard her age was 20yrs Spinster They married on 8th February in parish of Longhope Gloucester. Alfred at time was living 25 looks like (Clagram ?) Road Gloucester Alfred's father is also an Alfred Smith whose profession was a Gardener. There is no profession down for Beatrice Norah Beard It has her livings at "Castles" Longhope Beatrice father is down as James Beard his profession a Labourer. Both Alfred and Beatrice signed the register and was signed in presence of cannot decipher first name could be signed ( Gwen) Beard but not sure and Alice Calicott.

How does the above marriage connect to Lily Dryden?
|
Alfred and Beatrice's son Edgar Clifton Ashley Smith married Lily Richardson Dryden in Gloucester in 1933.
You posted the marriage on 29 March at 10:57, ErikaH.

Very distantly, in fact ;-) ;-) ;-). And no connection with her son, as far as can be deduced, in view of the timing and location of his birth.

Sorry I didn't put that the marriage was for the Edgar Clifton Ashley Smith's Parents. Edgar is father and mum Lily Dryden of Peter John Wilkins , Aka Alfred James Dryden I am trying now to go backwards, sideways to get more family members for Peter . Alfred Ashley Smith is Edgar's father. This line is new to me. I am now looking for information on Beatrice Beard's family and Peters great grandfather who was also an Alfred Smith not sure when where born or who he married but maybe he was born around 1835 +/- married around time of Alfred Ashley Smith birth in1879 . Hope this info may help someone to recognise this family
Thank you :-)

I think I mentioned at the outset that is extremely unlikely that anyone connected would see your post.
Have you checked out other members trees or looks at www.freebmd.org.uk to try and find a marriage before 1879. Have you found Alfred Ashley Smith or Beatrice in the census - which could lead you to the parents.

It was obvious whose marriage it was, but……………..
Glenise,
How can you say that the Smith man was the father of Alfred DRYDEN, whose birth was clearly illegitimate, with NO father named?
The woman’s marriage to Smith was 2 years after the birth

Beatrice is in 31 trees on Ancestry. I suggest you take out a sub and look into the trees and possibly try and contact some of the tree owners..
You can also do a lot of your own research on the various census etc yourself
Good luck
