Title: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: kaziah on Wednesday 29 February 12 01:30 GMT (UK)
Hi,

I'm doing my sons family history.  We know that his Gt Gt Grandmother was Mary Ann Smith bn 1871 in a gypsy caraven.  Her parents were John smith bn 1834 and Maria ? bn 1837.
I have found them on 1871 & 1881 census.

1871 their children are listed as
Cinymentia Smith bn 1857
William Smith bn 1865
George Smith bn 1868
Selina Smith bn 1866
Mary Ann Smith bn 1871

by 1881 they had also had
Florrie Smith bn 1876
Kesiah Smith bn 1874
Joseph Smith bn 1878

in 1881 they are next to a Spiver family who look connected.

There is also a Selina Smith bn 1832 with 5 children near them on the 1871 census who looks related.
Next to them is an Everitt Plumb with a Keziah Smith and what looks like their 5 children.

Does anyone have any other information on this family??? Or any pointer on where I can look?  Any help gratefully recieved.

Hi, anyone who's reading this...

I'm still plodding away on this.  I think there is a definite link with the Booth / Plumb family.

Everett Plumb bn 1833 Notts

Everett Plumb also used the name Everett Booth bn 1864

His sister Mary Ann Plum /Booth / Smith bn 1860 Notts who used all 3 surnames.
Have sent off for some books on Gypsy family history and customs and found some good website - BUT if anyone has any pointers I'd be more than grateful.

My main interest is in Mary Ann Smith bn 1869/70 Arnold/Ilkeston ? who ended up living with George Slater a salt Hawker in Derby till she died...  I have yet to find the death.

I was brought up to believe my ancesters on my grandmother's side of the family were gypies.....I have been seaching for years with no luck...I came on this site yesterday for help regarding my Great grandfather and it has led me back to the Plumb name from Nottingham....did a search and it has brought me to this page and I see the word Gypsy!!

I have a Joseph Elk (Elk being the name I have searched for ages being connected to gypsies with no luck)
Find out Joseph married a Plumb.....search Plumb and hey presto!!!

Can anyone give me info on the Plumbs

Joseph married Sarah Plumb in 1885 in Nottingham

Hi Swampinstein,

Joseph Elks and Sarah Plumb married 10 Jan 1825 St Peters Church Radford not 1885 as you say in your post.
There are quite a few Plumb family's in Nottinghamshire so you would need a bit more info.  I've been doing some Plumbs from Lambley.

The Plumbs I have are from Lambley too...

Still convinced they are interconnected with our family...

Hi Kaziah,

I've the desendents of Samuel Plumb born abt 1783 and Mary Green born abt 1781 both Lambley. samuel then married Mary's sister Elizabeth Green aft Mary died in 1832.

There was a Everet Plumb christened on 4 April 1836 son of Nathan and Ann Plumb.

You say he also used the name Everett Booth born 1864, why would he say he was born 1864 and 1833/36 making him 30yrs younger than he was??

If there is anything you would like me to look for in Nottingham Archives please let me know.

Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: swampinstein on Saturday 14 April 12 12:21 BST (UK)
sorry..yes 1825...my typo mistake...lol

That is all the info I have other than they had a daughter Harriatt.

I need to find out more on the plumb family.

I was starting to think the gypsy connection was all wrong even though my late father always mentioned it and also recently a cousin said her mum mentioned it too...But after searching for years and finding nothing I thought maybe they had gotten it wrong and I was searching for a red herring.
Then I found the Plumb connection and this led me to this page and I couldn't believe it when gypsies were mentioned. So they could have been right after all.  I was just searching in the wrong places.

Post by: swampinstein on Saturday 14 April 12 12:26 BST (UK)
Do any of you know where there was gypsy camps (not sure if that is what you call them) in Nottingham.

The decendants of this family ended up in Kent and I know there was a big community there.

Hi again,

Yes this is the same family I'm looking at - I'll have a look at my file tomorrow and come back...
I feel sure that Keziah Booth is connected in someway to the Smith Gypsy family who is encamped with them/beside them during the 1871 census - Keziah is as a Booth and the rest of the family as Plumb's.

I'll post again later when I can get my info  together.

Hi - Back again,

This is all I know about the Booth gypsy connection...

1871 census
Radford, Sneinton,  Land Society's field caravan, nottinghamshire
In first van
John Smith bn 1834 - his 2 co wives and all their children

next Van
Everitt Plumb bn 1833 Head 38  bn Nottinghamshire
Keziah Booth bn 1839  Boarder 32  Bn Leicestershire
James Plumb  bn  1866 Son       5  Bn      "
Henry Plumb  bn  1868 son        3   bn      "
Keziah Plumb bn  1871 daug      0   bn      "
Everett Plumb bn  1864 son       7    bn    Notts
Amelia Plumb  bn   1860  daug   11  bn  Leic

Everett Plumbs bn 1833 - his parents were
Nathan Plumb bn 1797 - 1885 Lambley and
Ann Cook bn 1806 - 1870 Gunthorpe Notts

One of their other daughters and Everett's sister was a Violetta Plumb bn 1833
who married in 1852 2Q Nottingham a William Caunt.  Someone has a lot of their family history on line.  They ended up living in Grantham.

Not sure if this helps you...

What I have learnt by reading books is that when looking for Gypsy relatives you have to forget how the non-gypsy folk use their names in a set way.  Travelling folk interchange the surname - use mothers maiden name, or an alias - and change their first name from time to time as well - also they didn't always marry in the way we would call marry - so there is no legal trace - it's wonderful!!!  But most often there is a christening somewhere - you just have to find it.

I really need to make the connection with the Smiths and Keziah Booth...

Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: swampinstein on Sunday 15 April 12 16:44 BST (UK)
Thank you for that  ;D
all I have to do now is try to connect my Plumb with those.
you mentioned vans at Radford and Sneinton....my relatives were born there so that ties in with what I know so far
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: nottsgirl1 on Sunday 15 April 12 17:53 BST (UK)
Hi Kaziah,

Have you thought about getting one of the children's of Everett and Keziah birth certificate to see what "maiden" name is down for Keziah.

We know of Ann Selina Plumb (Selina on 1881 census and Amelina on 1871 census) birth reg Melton Mowbray Sept Qtr 1859 Vol 7a Pg 223.

Nathan Plumb was christened Lambley on 8 Nov 1799 son of William & Ann
Sarah Plumb christened Lambley on 6 May 1798 daughter of William & Ann.

I will check Sarah's marriage when i'm in the archives this week to see who the witnesses were..

Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham

Could be, have you found him on any census to see where be put as place of birth.

Post by: swampinstein on Monday 16 April 12 09:46 BST (UK)
No, but with  help from someone on his site they have found

Paul Elks b:1801 and a Thomas Elks who died 1836 Sneinton Notts and also a Hannah Elks who died 1834 Radford who we believe could be the brother and parents of Joseph.....Don't know where they were born though.
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: nottsgirl1 on Monday 16 April 12 10:48 BST (UK)
Hi Swampinstein,

Burials that I've found on my burial disc are

Hannah Elks of Radford aged 74yrs at St Peter's Church Radford on 20 June 1834
Mary Elks of Radford aged 48yrs at St Peters Church Radford on 20 July 1842
Sarah Elks of Henry Street Sneinton aged 59yrs at St Stephen's Church Sneinton on 13 Dec 1857, this is Joseph wife.
Have not found a Thomas Elks.

On 1851 census Sarah is a widow living on Henry St, with daughter Harriett Elks born 1826 and granddaughter Harriett Elks born 1848.

Harriet Elk daughter of Joseph and Sarah christened 4 Dec 1825 Lenton Church

Harriet married John Haysom St Stephens Church Sneinton on 4 Jan 1858,

Maybe the Elks name could also be spelt as Ellis or Else too.

Kazi
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: nottsgirl1 on Monday 16 April 12 17:22 BST (UK)
Hi Kazi,

How are you? The discs are index discs of burial records  for Nottinghamshire Churchs it not complete.  It tells you whats on the parish record of burials, there is also one for marriages that gives church date and name of the couple marry and one for christenings.
You can buy them from Nottinghamshire Family History Society they cost £20 each or you can buy the pack of three for £50 plus P&P.

I have all three so if there is anything you would like me to look up please just ask. 

I have found a number of newspaper reports on Petty Sessions for Everett Plumb
do you know of those?

Nottsgirl1
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham

Post by: nottsgirl1 on Monday 16 April 12 18:13 BST (UK)
If you read back through the pages of this thread you will see the christening for Everett Plumb son of Nathan also that you said you thought that Sarah was Nathan's sister again when you go back you will find their christenings too, this making Sarah Everett's aunt.

Since I gave you all that info earlier I found out that you already had it all !!!

Hi,

If you are in England and have a library card you can get the reports for free on Library websites links if you cannot do that I can and can down load them for you and email them to you.

On the Library site you will need to click on 24/7 services then read online   newpapers and magazines 24/7 GO and then go down the page to here to click here to access 19thCentury British newspapers, its in red letters.  Then put in your library card number in and then you can search for Evereitt Plumb also search Everitt Plumb, Everett Booth and Everitt Booth.

Like I say if you cannot do it I'll do so and email them to you.  Good luck

I'm so so sorry, I've had a look at the leicestershire library web sites and it looks like they dont have the 24/7 services how annoying.

i'm sos sorry I thought it would be all librarys so maybe its just Nottingham's.
If there is anything you would like me to look for I'm willing to do that they onlygo up to 1900.

Hi swampinstein,

No you wasn't doing anything wrong it just that the Leicester Library doesn't have the same coverage as Nottingham, I tried it with my Nottingham card and got the same as you but it wouldn't work on the Newsbank one.
So I was wondering if your card number would work on the Nottingham site give it a try anyway worth a go here's the link:

I have a Samuel Plumb who married Elizabeth Foster
They had a son William who married (1) Mary lane and they had 3 children
Samuel, william, Mary
Mary Lane died and William then married Anne Selby and together they had children

Sarah b:1798 (which fits my Sarah) Nathan b:1799 Henry b:1802 Susannah b:1804 Harriet b:1808 (which would fit with sarah calling her daughter Hariett) Didania b:1812 and Absalom b:1805

Post by: swampinstein on Friday 20 April 12 01:57 BST (UK)
think I may have found your Smith/booth connection or one of them :o

emily/Emma SMITH , Pedlar was born in 1835 in Harby, Leicestershire and was christened on 4 Jan 1835 in Harby, Leicestershire

emily/Emma married Henry BOOTH , Chairbottomer, son of Unknown and Unknown. Henry was born in 1833 in Old Dalby, Leicesterahire
 Nathaniel BOOTH was born in 1861 in Thurleston, Leicestershire
Nathaniel married Ad/Eliza SMITH in 1883 in Oakham, daughter of Naptali SMITH , Hawker
and Wyramenta/Ryerdunty/Byenty SMITH , licensed Hawker. Ad/Eliza was born in 1864 in Melton Mowbray


Keziah BOOTH was born in Oakham.   (could this be Kaziah Booth who married Everett Plumb??

I was searching for Absalam Plumb to see what I could come up with regarding Sarah Plumb and found this Smith site....looking down it and found the Smith/Booth connection

Hi,

It was Everett  Booth - alias Plumb 1887 29th July Notts Guardian
Charged with stealing a Mare - aged 24 - (so this is the son of Everett Plumb the elder and Kesiah Booth)
a Hawker was indicted for stealing a bay mare the property of Robert Watling of East Stoke on 4th May 1887 - Jury found him not guilty - he was discharged.

Off to Derby records office - I only get 2 days a month I can go off like this and its always a Friday - so I'll have to plan a trip to Leicester records office on a day other Friday as their closed then...

Oooh...  Back again,

Just seen yr post from before,

Yes - this is our Smith Family for sure...   But I can't find out more about Kesiah Booth bn 1839 Easton Leic - I have a feeling that one - or Both of John Smiths co-wives Caroline/Selinabn 1832/3 Freeby/Frisby Leic (did give surname Speiver in 1881 and Maria bn 1835/7 Scalford Leic) were also related to Kesiah...

Maybe I need to concentrate on the Booth lines and bring them forward in more detail...

He was sent there in 1823 (not sure what for yet) when he was there he got mixed up with a bush ranger and was shot in the chin and jaw and died several days later....buried Hobart 1826

The one sent to Aus, was the highway man.....he got the death sentence that was reprieved and sent to Tasmania....went on the Trove aussie newspaper archive site to find out more because that is free to look at whole articles and found the bit about him absconding with some bandits/murders and then about the shoot out with him getting shot........I didn't know he was an highwayman so went and asked on the notts board to see if anyone could find out....and some people on there helped me find what he was convicted off.

Sarah Elks(nee Plumb) it's her uncle's son who is the highwayman

Hi,

No definitely Sarah Plumb she was born 1794 daughter of Josh. ( short for Joseph) and Martha Plumb she was christened on 23 Feb 1794 at Lambley but they could have been cousins.

Joseph Plumb and Martha Brammer married at Gedling Chruch on 25 Dec 1777.

 :o Wow, you have been busy.

I put what we have so far on a huge piece of paper so I can see who belongs to who.

To think all I had to start with was Frederick Elks and that I had been searching for years with no result. Now I look at what I have and..... :o.....it is fantastic.

I wish we could find more on Joseph Elks and Sarah Plumb.....did they have more than one child? Where did Joseph come from?....I'm thinking he came from Derbyshire or Staffordshire......maybe i'll never know!!

Unless his name was spelt wrong on records could be down as Ellis maybe, there is one at St Mary's Nottingham Joseph Ellis of Commerce Row on 24 April 1831 on my disc but it says age unclear so I'll have a look at the actual record in the archives.

By the way have you seen the newspaper report on Harriett Elk in 1849 when she was charged with stealing silk and Sarah was charged with receiving the silk.

I think you may be right about Ellis.....I read that yesterday on another site about Sarah being down as Ellis instead of Elks.....I'll see if I can find it.

Hi Jane,

Maybe silly question but what is the connection from Frederick Elks to Joseph and Sarah?

Here's what is said in the newspaper report:


Nottingham Guardian Newspaper Thursday 16 Aug 1869

At Nottingham County Court

Saturday – (Before the Mayor and J. Hadden, Esq.)
A DISHONSET OVERLOOKERS.---- Harriett Elks, aged 22, single woman, Snenton Elements, was charged with stealing 2lbs. Weight of silk, the property of her master, Mr S. W. Moore, of Hockley-Mill.  Police constable Cliff said: At half past two o’clock yesterday afternoon, I went into the shop of a general dealer, named Dodd, and saw John Coney selling some spun silk.  I asked him where he had got it from, and he said he had brought it of a woman living at Snenton, and that he had given her 1 ¼ d. a pound for it.  I took a bit of it to Mr Moore’s, and found that it corresponded with that used in the Mill.  I afterwards went to the house of prisoner’s mother, in Snenton Elements, where I found a quantity of the same material.   The prisoner, who was a overlooker at the mill, admitted taking the silk, which she said had got ravelled on the bobbins, and she had cut it off so the girls might not stop in the Mill all night to put the silk right. She was remanded until Monday.
Sarah Elks, mother of the last prisoner, was charged with receiving the silk.  She admitted that her daughter had brought silk home from time to time, although she had repeatedly cautioned her not to do so.  She was discharged.

Monday - (Before the Mayor and Mr J. Wells, Esq)
REMANDAD CASE- Hannah Elks, remanded from Saturday was discharged, Mr. Moore declined to prosecute.

I would love more Plumb info if it's not too much trouble...  It's such a help.
Have had a bad day to day - I have Lupus, it's a bottom at the moment...

I have another question you may be able to help with too...

Lucy Ann Mason bn 1847 Nottingham who is the half sister of the Everett Plumb bn 1833 Nottingham
Her Mother was Ann Cook bn 1806 Gunthorpe who was first partner of Nathan Plumb bn 1799 Lambley, then partner of John Mason bn 1806 who is Lucy Ann's Father...

Lucy Ann Mason married 1867 4Q Liverpool a
Edwin Booth bn 1845 Nottingham

Who is this Edwin Booth's parents???  I'm struggling with this one...

Hi to you both,

Its no trouble at all, I'm happy to  continue with the Plumbs.

I've had a look at the newspapers site for the John Plumb Jane mentioned not showing up on the Nottingham site but on the British newspaper site (the one you have to pay for) that has the Nottingham assizes report in the Northampton Mercury.  I'll see what I can find on him at the archives.

Kaziah,

First Ann Cook was Nathan's second wife, and from what you are saying she left him sometime between 1841 when she was on the census with him and 1847 when Lucy Ann was born.  I'll see what I can find but it might be case of you buying the marriage certificate for Lucy Ann and Edwin.

Violetta Plumb 1833
Henry Plumb 1829
George Plumb 1826
Dedemia Plumb 1825
Everett Plumb 1833

Who lead a gypsy life or/and married gypsies...

So has the Gypsy life come from Nathan Plumb OR Ann Cook?????  Do we know anything about Ann Cook's family - she certainly had the gypsy swapping of partners/names - so I'm thinking it was from her line...

Or have I missed something???

I have no idea where it started ???
All I started with was remembering my late father telling me when I was young that we came from Romany gypsies...I started my family tree after my father had died so was not able to ask anything....My mother who is still alive said she thought it wasn't true...I started to believe it wasn't true until last year I came in contact with a cousin, who's mum was my dad's cousin and she was also searching the Elks line......I never mentioned a gypsy connection. I just said I was having trouble finding the Elks and she said.....Maybe that is because of the gypsy roots.. :o.......I thought then... :o my father was right after all.....My cousin's mum is still alive and she says she always believed we came from gypsies and that she remembers her auntie looked like a gypsy with how she had her hair and the way she dressed....She always believed that Frederick Elks was the first to live in a house.
I carried on looking for Elks and gysies and could find nothing, until I came here and found Joseph Elks and Sarah Plumb.....I was always looking in London because I knew that is where Frederick was born, when in fact all these years I should have been looking in Nottingham ::)

When my father was young his mum(frederick's daughter) used to cook sparrow pie :o and my dad used to tell me how to cook Baked hedgehog :o....I never did cook one....pmsl!!!
He also used to go into the local woods near where we lived and pick wild mushrooms....he knew which was poisonious and which wasn't....he made nettle tea, could skin rabbits, pluck pheasants etc
 :o Who taught him all that???....his mum??? Frederick his grandad????

They're the sort of things gypsies ate, especially baked hedgehog :o



This is why I want to find more on Joseph Elks and Sarah...did they live a gypsy life?..was joseph a gypsy or was just Sarah's side of the family.

well - if it looks like fish and smell like fish - it must be fish!!!

I think the information is out there - we just need to find it.

The gypsy connection is in my sons family history - he's 13 - his Gt Grandmother was the first in that family line to live in a house...  We have a photo of her, and she looks like a gypsy - very dark and striking looks, very small like a little bird.

But like yourself - lots of traditions have been passed down through the family - just ways of doing things.  swapping of names, not marrying - ages all mixed up.

If we keep chipping away, we'll find what we're looking for...

Frederick was married to Louisa Moore and her father Peter came from Ashill Norfolk. My cousin said she went to Ashill Norfolk last year and spoke to an historian and he told her that the Moores seemed to pop in and out of Ashill for the crop seasons......That is another thing gypsies did....they travelled to farms for the crop seasons.....So where the Moores gypsies too???


And if that isn't confusing enough, I happened to find an Highwayman Plumb who was sent to Tasmania who absconded, got inwith a well known bandit and got himself shot  ::)

I'm going to reread some of my gypsy books too - see if I can pick something there up.

Hi Both of you,

Well you have lost me with all this gipesy talk I've no idea where to strat with that.

I do know that in someof the newspaper reports that I've seen Everett Plumb is reported as a Gipsy.
I also know that the 1st William Plumb we have was not a gipsy as he had a house and shop in Lambley I'm going to get a copy of his Will to day.

The christening I posted last night maybe the wrong one as I've also found a baptism for Lucy Mason at St Barnabas R.C. 17 March 1861 born9 Dec 1846 daughter of John Mason and Ann Cook.

I think Everett Plumb was most certain a gypsy, but where it came from I have no idea

I'm going to have another crack of trying to find something on Joseph Elks....Think I may have to delve into staffordshire.

I do know Frederick's wife was born in Staffordshire


If William Plumb had a shop....what made some of his decendents go into gypsy life? I would have thought if you owned a shop you wasn't completly poor.

The more we find, the more questions we get....which is good, makes it more interesting.

Hi,

I know Everett Plumb bn c1833 was gypsyish and noted as being a gypsy- and his partner Kasiah Booth was definately gypsy - they lead a very gypsy lifestyle.

Everett Plumb's mother Ann Cook bn 1806 had a child with her second partner John Mason called
Leudure or Lendon Collin Plumb bn c c1843 (male child)  which feels a bit of a gypsy name, which brings me back to thinking the gypsy line may come from her...

Not so good today.


Nottsgirl...   Thanks for the 2nd bap for Lucy Mason - I think that is the correct one...  Is there any chance of looking at the same church to see if Leudure or Lendon collin Plumb is bap there too???  his surname could have been Mason.

Maybe we need to take a look at the cook line of the family....see if her parents were gypsies,

Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: swampinstein on Wednesday 25 April 12 12:32 BST (UK)
just been looking at the tree of the Plumbs i have got now and I think the gypsy side must have come from William and Ann Selby...they had a son Absalom, a son Eli and a daughter Didonia......all 3 of those are gypsy names.

May be it came from his wife Ann Selby.


It couldn't have come from Ann Cook seeing as it is Nathan's siblings that have those gypsy names....However, that is not saying Ann didn't come from gypsies.

Post by: kaziah on Wednesday 25 April 12 15:02 BST (UK)
Hi...

Yes you're right, all odd names, but they all went to live in houses and live non-gypsy lives.  But I bet gypsies come from both lines...

I'll have a look about this evening hopefully.  More digging needs to be done.

Hi Kaziah and Jane,

Looks like we all had a quiet night last night.

I now have the Will of William Plumb it was dated 8 Jan 1815 and he died 15 Jan 1815 and it was not proved until 26 Dec 1823 (don't know why that was). the date of death on the Will says 1814 but we know that's wrong most likely as it was proved so many years after death that they forgot what year he died as date of death is only added when Will's are proved.

If you send me a personnel massage with your emails I can send you copies as cannot add it on here as copyrights rules don't allow it.

I spent last night looking deeper into the Moore side (frederick's wife Louisa Moore)

I did find more siblings and that they did travel around, but as of yet not confirmed they lived a gypsy life.

With a little help from the American board I have found details on Louisa's sister who went to America with her family.

Well...  Flip me, I missed a lot yesterday!!!

Will send my email address ...

I've been looking in my book of Gypsy names Selby is a known gypsy surname in the LDN SCO SSX YKS areas
Moore is KEN LDN LIN SSX STF YKS

Maybe they lived with gypsys always around them, and some were drawn into that way of life.

Kesiah Booth was definately a gypsy - I have found a lot of Petty session appearances for her!!  as well as the Everett Booth ones we know about - even into her old age - she was always roaming and with other known gypsies.

Got JJ off school again today - so may dip in and out.

All very interesting...

Found a big gypsy connection on my Smith side which confirms to me that I've found the right family there which I'm pleased about - but still have no idea which family Carolina and Maria are from...

Hi Jane,

Be careful with American connections as they don't always check the facts to prove it  and will connect family's up where they shouldn't.  I found a number of American trees that had my Elizabeth Green who was born in Lambley married to someone called Jackson in America but in fact she married a Samuel Plumb in Nottingham and lived and died in Lambley and  I seen the prove that their Elizabeth Green was born in America.

Hi,

I've sent you both emails regarding the following:

Dated 10 May 1842. Ann Plumb of Lambley widow bequeaths all property late of her cousin Henry Wreight of Faversham co. Kent which might come to her as the result of a lawsuit then proceeding in trust for her children and there issue.  Trustee and excr Marmaduke Kelham of Southwell Solicitor.  Probated 7 Jan 1847.
Annexed is Letter: William Plumb of Mansfield to Maraduke Kelham enquiring as to title deeds to property in Lambley late of Absolom and Eli Plumb.  Endorsed with note of reply in which failure (as regards to A. P) of the above lawsuit is mentioned.

The only William Plumb of Mansfield was a broker who died in 1861.  He was christened in Woodborough on 14 Dec 1814 son of Samuel and Sarah Plumb.

Samuel Plumb of Lambley married Sarah Worthington at Woodborough on 17 Feb 1812 so could this be Samuel born 1790 and Samuel mentioned above of Mansfield be Ann's step grandson?? something to think about!

Good Morning :)

I have searched for Henry and Eleanor and can find hardly anything.

I did find that they had the 4 children you mentioned.

I think Daniel married a Mary and they had a son Thomas who married Mary Widowson..(that is if I have the right Daniel)

I've been searching to see if I can connect Ann Selby with that Henry Wreight but found nothing.


Eli's wife Elizabeth I have down as Elizabeth Bekhin or Belchin (can't read my own writing..lol)
The Mills in the Grave are Eli's daughter Ann and her husband Alfred MIlls

I have Samuel Plumb married to Elizabeth Foster....Elizabeth parents as John Foster and Ann Hind.....but I believe before Ann Hind married John Foster she was married to a Joseph Plumb......I think she married Joseph Plumb in 1720 and then married John Foster in 1728.

I am now wondering where this Joseph fits in with the rest of the Plumbs....was he Samuel plumb's uncle.


I also have John Fosters parents as...John Foster and Dorothy Blacknall who married abt 1698 in Lambley.

Ann Hind and Joseph Plumb married at Gonalston on 23 April 1828
Joseph was buried on 26 Jan 1728 Lambley
Ann Plumb married john Foster on 16 Sept 1828 Lambley.

Cannot find any children for Joseph and Ann
but for John and Ann
16 Nov 1729 Elizabeth
21 Sept 1735 George
29 April 1739 Sarah all at Lambley
13 May 1732 John at Gonalston

and don't know if the next 2 are the same family

Where do you get all your info from?..are you subscribed to ancestery.co.uk?
I know you go to the records office too.

I need to subscribe again and also that newspaper site but with me not working at the mo I have to count my pennies.

Think I might go Library this week, I can use ancestery for free there

I don't pay for anything if I can help it. I access Ancestry for free at the archives and save everything to my memory stick and then go though it all when I get home but it takes me a while as I get so much.

Also at my local library we can access Find my past for free but we are only allowed to use their computers for 1 hour a week.

Well I'm off now time for something to eat.  Had a busy day today my granddaughter came round and she started walking she 17 months old but was born 3 months early she tried walking over the last few weeks but today she was walking all over the place. ;D ;D ;D

That's a shame but to be honest I don't think that the Plumbs were really gypsies
but that Everett Plumb took up with a gypsy.
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: kaziah on Wednesday 02 May 12 19:02 BST (UK)
Hi You both...

This is where I think the Smith line our Gypsy Smith's come from and the Booth Family merge...

It's a bit odd, and I need to prove the connection, but feel sure it is out there...

James Smith
bn 1773 Clophill
(his parents James Smith 1735-1830, King Jem of the Gypsies and his wife Queen Jemima Smith 1747-1803 - His brother was Toby - Tobias Smith bn 1773 and Hung in 1792 for horse stealing)

married/partner of

Mary Smith
bn 1773
(her parents ?)

Their children...
Cinnamenta Smith     bn 1792  (mother of John Smith bn 1833)
Nehemiah Smith        bn 1794
Sarah Smith               bn 1796
Reservoy Smith          bn 1796-1860
James Smith Booth    bn 1773  (why was he given the surname Booth???)

James Smith Booth bn 1773 Married/partner of Sophia Smith bn 1793-1881
Their children
Cinementa Booth   bn 1829
Henry Booth           bn 1881
Amadine Booth       bn 1835-1892

These 3 are the known children of the above...   But I think they were also the parents of
Kesiah Booth bn 1839 Eaton who was the partner of Everett Plumb - all I need to do is prove it??   HELP NEEDED HERE PLEASE.

Kesiah Booth used throuout her life the surnames Booth/Plumb/Smith

I have a feeling that either Maria or Carolina/Selina who were the co-partners of John Smith bn 1833 may have been a sister of Kesiah Booth also...

Post by: swampinstein on Wednesday 02 May 12 19:19 BST (UK)
Absolam is def a gypsy name though and he was Nathan's brother.

I think there is still lots of questions to ask....

William had money and left his children some....What did Nathan do with his money?....on William's will he gave him £12 which is over £500 in their time and that was a lot of money in those days. Yet he ends up on poor relief and then gets convicted. Going to your point, maybe they were that poor Everett had no choce put to take up with gypsies.
Then their is the rumour in my family that we decended from gypsies...If it was just Everett than we didn't decend from them we were just related to one. My great aunt who is still alive is adament we came from them.
I have added issues...who was Joseph Elks?...Other than his marriage to Sarah Plumb I can find nothing. Where did he come from? Also how did his daughter end up in Greenwich Kent alone and in the  poorhouse with one child and one on the way?...There were lots of gypsies in Kent.
Frederick was born in Kent, married in Staffordshire and died in Leicestershire....yet his relatives lived in Nottinghamshire. His brother was born in Kent, had a child born in Cheshire and lived in Southampton, I don't know where he died. Then there is Fredericks wife, her parents were born in Norfolk, had children in Staffordshire and lived in Leicestershire....There is a reason why they all moved around.

So many questions...so few answers...lol......but that is how I like it, keeps my mind busy ;)
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: swampinstein on Wednesday 02 May 12 19:25 BST (UK)
Hiya Kaz
seems you have questions too :o

We need to find Kesiah's parents then.
I know some of Everett's children were born in Leicester and was hoping today at the records office I could at least find those... :o but they had nothing in the records office of travellers except a folder with a few names in and Plumb and Booth wasn't there, so I don't think it was a complete list.
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: kaziah on Wednesday 02 May 12 19:49 BST (UK)
Nathan Plumb was being a naughty boy before Everett was born....

Nathan Plumb's sister Jane Plumb bn 1796 married Robert Plumb bn 1796
was a Rug Maker and frame work knitter, known gypsy trades - they had a daughter in 1826
called Sylvia/Sybrina/Sylvester/Silvery - a Gypsy name...

In 1861 & 1871 Nathan Plumb gave his occupation as a Hawker - gypsy occ.

Violleta Plumb (Married name Caunt) had Kesiah Booth and Everett Plumb's daughter Mary ann Smith and her children go and live with her - Mary Ann Smith was a Hawker as were her sons...

I think the Plumb's were on the cusp of gypsy life - I think further generations back they may well have been full gypsy...

Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: swampinstein on Wednesday 02 May 12 20:36 BST (UK)
My Sarah Plumb was done for receiving stolen goods from her daughter....so even Sarah and her family were being naughty....So that is Nathan and his sister, not only that their cousin john who ended up being transported to Tasmania....Makes ya wonder why they were all being naughty when William had money...it seems William's children struggled in life....but I go back to his will.....he did leave them something, so what happened?
Then we have William's wife trying to get money from Henry wreights estate.....it states her cousin but I can't find a connection .
There seems to be money floating around the tree yet they were poor
Title: Re: smith/booth gypsies nottingham
Post by: swampinstein on Wednesday 02 May 12 20:48 BST (UK)
maybe the money William left them wasn't much after all.....I did look on a converter and it said £12 in 1840's was worth in todays money over £500

you need to look up 1881 census for Rutlandshire

James Booth of Blisworth and wife Sophia Smith lived there

They had a son Henry Booth 1833 Old Dalby Leicestershire
Keziiah Booth born 1773 Oakham Rutlandshire

Think also

Albert Booth
Enock Booth
Mary Booth
Harriet Booth

They all lived
Lord's Hold, John's Count Oakham Rutlandshire

Yet on here it says parents Henry and Emma booth

I'm still plodding away on this.  I think there is a definite link with the Booth / Plumb family.

Everett Plumb bn 1833 Notts

Everett Plumb also used the name Everett Booth bn 1864

His sister Mary Ann Plum /Booth / Smith bn 1860 Notts who used all 3 surnames.
Have sent off for some books on Gypsy family history and customs and found some good website - BUT if anyone has any pointers I'd be more than grateful.

My main interest is in Mary Ann Smith bn 1869/70 Arnold/Ilkeston ? who ended up living with George Slater a salt Hawker in Derby till she died...  I have yet to find the death.

Hi

I'm researching Booth and Smith in Goole and  Rawcliffe. Betsy Booth who was a hawker, who married firstly to a chap named Coleman, and later to a Robert Smith. I've been unable to find her father Charles Booth (who is on both her marriage certificates). Whilst researching on a newspaper site I discovered Smith and Booth links at Rawcliffe and Snaith.

There is a Booth family using the name "Cynementy" at Rawcliffe, she is daughter of William Booth, hawker. He has nephew and niece William and Eliza.

Younger William was born in Nottingham, can't decipher place name on 1911 census.

I have also found 9th July 1887 newspaper 'Nottinghamshire Guardian', 'Everett Booth alias Plumb', aged 24, indicted for stealing a bay mare from Robert Watling of east Stoke. Found NOT GUILTY.

I also found him as 'Everard Booth' alias Plumb, horse dealer of Leicester, found guilty of being drunk at Leicester Abbey on 30th January 1886 with a chap called John Darker of Markfield (Leicester Chronicle feb 13th 1886) They were each fined 5 shillings, and 13 shillings costs, or 5 days in gaol!

There is another story from Nottingham Evening Post 10th November 1882, of Everett Booth and Henry Plumb damaging a hedge at West Brigford by jumping a horse over it. Everett is described as a 'horse dealer' and Henry his 'assistant' once again they were both fined. (Nottinghamshire Guardian).

In another appearance at court 9th Jan 1886 he was described as having "no fixed residence".

BUT, there is also a story 25 years previous to these, of two gipsies named James Booth and 'Everrit' Plumb, being drunk and fighting at Barkston, on trial at Belvoir Petty sessions July 1st 1861.(Leicester Chronicle again). They assaulted James Scofield, parish constable, in the execution of his duty. Fined £1 with 10 shillings and six pence costs.

They certainly are a colourful bunch!

I have just come across Keziah Booth and her off spring, in which they would have been my 1st Cousins 3x re moved
So trying to find out more. My tree is on Ancestry as I couldn't trace any marriage records for Everett or Keziah  now I know why. Hope to hear from someone.

I feel sure that Keziah Booth is connected in someway to the Smith Gypsy family who is encamped with them/beside them during the 1871 census - Keziah is as a Booth and the rest of the family as Plumb's.

I'll post again later when I can get my info  together.

He was sent there in 1823 (not sure what for yet) when he was there he got mixed up with a bush ranger and was shot in the chin and jaw and died several days later....buried Hobart 1826

This was my 5x Great Uncle, son of Robert Plumb and Jane Plumb.  I have lots of information for him! If anyone's interested please email me at antmeal2@gmail.com.

Not sure if anyone is still searching these families of Smith/Plumb came across a marriage.

22 Sep 1850 Marriage Place:Derby, St Alkmund, Derbyshire, Silvey Plumb born 1825 married Charles Smith born 1826. Fathers Robert Plumb and John Smith.

Waltham on the Wolds and Stow Green Fair were places that I know at least some of the Gypsies would be found known as Lincolnshire Gypsies Brown Gray Elliotts Smith and sometimes Boswell Heron and Lovell from other parts of England. The Booths were known to reside  at Melton Mowbray and there is a story of ancestor a woman which they  said her picture hangs in Belvoir Castle.

1861 23 May Nottinghamshire Samuel Curson and Everett Plumb  2 gypsies were charged with camping on highway in parish of  Maplebeck - ordered to pay costs and warned if found similarly offending they would be  severely punished.

1869 28 May Stamford Mercury  Thomas Elliott charged with using a dog to kill game and assaulting police.... he was fined and costs paid.
Between 5 & 6 am of  13th a considerable number of gypsy tribe were traveling in Vans and other vehicles accompanied by a drove of horses down old Foss road between Cotgrave & Kinoulton.
Everett Plumb and Spencer Smith were charged with similar offences as was Wm Grey another gypsy charged with using a gun and killing a hare on land of Mr hoard Farmer of Cotsgrave. The case was adjourned.

Hi, this is the same family I'm looking for but I'm trying to concentrate on the haymes, hames, haynes family, James born 1890 in stone, staffordshire to Catherine hames, her father listed as either Michael or Billy, I cant find any information going further back, Catherine lived with Jack, Smith or booth,  she listed herself as Catherine Smith in the 1911 census, but she never married, the children took the name haymes or Smith at times, any chance of any help please, overwhelmed with this x

Hello there,  my name is Belle Leighton née Haymes. I was born Annabel. My Grandad was Peter Haymes and we are Romani. My great Granny was Kitty Haymes. I would love to see any old photos you may have of my family. We are a very large family and tracing back, it does get very confusing with name changes. I am on ancestry.co.uk
