Mary was listed as aged 2 in 1841, but I suppose they might have meant second year. Her brother Benjamin was listed as 3 (third year?). If this is him he also seems to have dropped his middle name:
Births Dec 1838 PREEDY Benjamin John Woodstock 16 130

Hmm, that's odd.
Anyway, here's what it shows you: Name: Mary Dinah Preedy Registration Year: 1840 Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar Registration district: Woodstock Parishes for this Registration District: View Ecclesiastical Parishes associated with this Registration District Inferred County: Oxfordshire Volume: 16 Page: 152 EDIT: Ah, interesting, you found Benjamin as well. I think that strengthens our case, then.

I'll probably order another couple of certificates this week. I'd like to be able to confirm our Thomas and Mary theory, so their birth and death certificates would be nice.

I don't think their death certs are likely to confirm much apart from when, where and how they died.
Also, Thomas's birth cert won't confirm that he is Thomas Smith.

Incidentally, does anyone know the origin of the name Ormonde? One of Charlotte's sons had it as a middle name, and I'm just curious where it would have come from. I'm unaware of it being used previously in the Eighteen, Preedy or French families.
Has anyone ever come across it before as a name?

I'm guessing it is taken from a surname.

If it is Vincent, then his middle name is spelt Ormond in some places and Ormonde in others.

Out of interest, now that we have the GRO search:
SMITH, ELLEN FRENCH GRO Reference: 1869 D Quarter in READING Volume 02C Page 344 SMITH, EDITH MARY GRO Reference: 1871 J Quarter in READING Volume 02C Page 336 SMITH, ROSE GRO Reference: 1872 J Quarter in READING Volume 02C Page 363 SMITH, MARIA ANNIE FRENCH GRO Reference: 1876 M Quarter in READING Volume 02C Page 357 SMITH, ELIZABETH GRO Reference: 1877 D Quarter in READING Volume 02C Page 361 These all give Preedy as mother's maiden name. No boys.
