2.  England & Wales National Probate Calendar on ancestry.  The source of date and place of death for widow Sarah Jane Smith (Le Petit) with probate granted to her son Frederick Smith of 11 South Hill Park Gardens, Hampstead

3.  Findmypast Census Records. On 1841 census Edward Smith age 61, an engraver, is with his wife Sarah 45, Ellen 25, Charlotte 20, Caroline 18, Frederick 12, Charles 10, Edwin 9 and Louisa 7 in the Borough of Marylebone, parish of St Pancras.  In 1851 Sarah has 3 children still at home, Frederick, Edwin and Louisa.  In 1861 her 4 single daughters are at home with her.

4.  Research.  The six years gap between Ellen & Charlotte would suggest there may have been other children who may not have survived OR may have been living at other than the family home. There are no obvious baptismal or christening records at this time, the original christening records not being on ancestry so there is no occupation for the father which helps to confirm the child is the prodigy of Edward Smith, Engraver.  For follow up
