I've been on Friendsreunited looking for them in schools local to where I know they lived when they were growing up, but no luck so far.

I have no idea if Doris and John are sill alive, I haven't found an obvious death record for Doris as yet.

I'm suspecting the J stood for John and the only P we have on Doris' side is for Percy. I don't know anything about the Fathers side. I will be ordering certificates; like you say, I need all the help I can get! :)

They appear to be Brian P and Barry J - you need all the help you can get with the surname Smith

Thank you Lynski, yes I am currently working my way through those matches. I'm trying everything I can think of :-)

Have you tried "Search all Trees" under the Search button above.

If you find a possible match you can contact the tree owner to see if you have a connection.

I suggest you delete the automated message about "looking at their tree" and write your own message outlining who you are looking for etc.

Researching:
Bagley, Millington, Morrey, Edwards, Sims, Weaver

I am trying to trace Barry (b.1950) and Brian (b.1953) Smith. They were born in Tooting, London in the years shown. Their parents were John A Smith and Doris A Smith, previously Wilde.
I descend from Doris' side of the family. Doris' parents were Charles Frederick Wilde and Ada Wilde, previously Butcher.
If you are or know Barry or Brian then do please let me know.

Many thanks :-)
