Harriet is Lydia Spray's daughter, not sure about her father though. She married William Vaughan as Mary Harriet I think, then he died and she married Robert Smith.

And Emily V Smith was born

Marriage for Lydia

ETHERIDGE John full w 6 Feb 1854 Cordwainer Horsefair James Etheridge Cordwainer SPRAY Lydia B St.Peters
SPRAY Lydia full s 6 Feb 1854 Horsefair William Spray Dead ETHERIDGE John B St.Peters

So Harriet Spray's father is probably a lost cause.

Findmypast has

Vaughan William 1872 — 1894 British Army Service Records Tipton, Staffordshire, England

Vaughan William 1871 — 1900 British Army Service Records Tipton, Dudley, Staffordshire, England

I don't suppose that is him?
I can't see him in the 1901 census.

That must be him because the last page of the first record says Horsley Heath,

That sounds hopeful then.

Thankyou both so much for your input, I've added most of it now
