Searching for common names without a specific date is a time-consuming search that could miss them. A better search might be done if you narrow the dates a little better. Here's the death notice for the Gordon Smith who died Nov. 21, 1948: Smith--On November 21, 1948, GORDON, of 1147 Gorsuch Avenue, beloved son of the late Catherine Smith (nee Davis). Funeral from Clarence F. Hoffman Funeral Home, 1639 Broadway, on Wednesday at 11 AM, Interment in Baltimore Cemetery. If he's not the Gordon Smith you are looking for, I recommend you search the Baltimore City Death Certificate Records at http://www.mdvitalrec.net/cfm/index.cfm. I searched the 1934 records and did not find a Gordon Smith listed. You might find him in years near that. John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
