Ivy Tummon (b. 17 Oct 1904), daughter of Tom Tummon and Bertha Ainsworth, first cousin of Fanny Tummon, married William Smith (b. 27 Nov 1900) in Sculcoates, in 1923. William Smith's mother's maiden name was ... wait for it ... Smith! Whether William was born illegitimately, whether his parents were cousins, or whether this is just a coincidence, it's near impossible to discover. 

William and Ivy may have had several children, of those I believe belong:
  1. Ivy Smith b. 1924 Q1 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 389)
  2. William Smith b. 1929 Q1 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 348), died in the same quarter of 1929 (Vol 9D Page 352)
  3. William T Smith b. 1931 Q2 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 361)
In 1939, William Smith, General Labourer and Ivy Smith were living at 204 Welwyn Park Avenue, Kingston Upon Hull. There are then four currently closed records in the household, which could potentially relate to children. Two of these could be Ivy and William T, but I cannot identify further children that would fit, unless some of those that I've attributed to Clarence and Fanny Smith, actually belong to this couple. Equally, these or the closed entries in that other household could relate to visiting kids from elsewhere in the family, lodgers, or anyone.

It hasn't been possible to identify William or Ivy's deaths.
