Fanny Tummon (b. 25 Jan 1907), daughter of George Tummon and Fanny Elwick, married at 16 to Clarence Smith, in Hull in 1923. Sadly, there are more than a few people, around the right age, called Clarence Smith to be certain which.

Potentially Clarence and Fanny had eight children:

1. Gladys Smith b. 15 Jun 1924 in Sculcoates (Vol: 9d Page: 226)
2. George Smith b. 1925 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 439) 
3. Irene Smith b. 1928 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 437) 
4. Clarence Smith b. 6 Apr 1930 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 452) 
5. Dorothy Irene Smith b. 1932 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 447) 
6. Ethel Smith b. 1934 Sculcoates (Vol: 9d Page: 154)
7. James Smith b. 11 Jun 1936 (Vol 9D Page 171) 
8. Mary E Smith b. 1938 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 289) 

In 1939, listed as Frances (Fanny) Smith, was living at 105 York Road, Hull, with eight other people, whom I assume were her children and included Gladys Smith, Glove machinist; two closed entries who I assume are George and Irene; Clarence Smith, At School; then two further closed records, who could be Dorothy and Ethel; James Smith, Under School Age and finally another closed record, which would fit Mary. Although Fanny is listed as married, Clarence is not listed in the household, so there are no further clues to his age, etc., to narrow him down.

Obviously, there are numerous assumptions here, but the GRO records for this time don't currently confirm the mother's maiden name and it wouldn't help anyway, as Fanny's first cousin, Ivy Tummon (daughter of Fanny's father, George Tummon's elder brother, Tom) had married a William Smith in the same year 1923, so separating the children to the right couples has been mostly guesswork.

Frances Smith, but of the right birth date, died, aged 76, in Hull in 1983.

Without knowing more about Clarence, I cannot identify his death.
