Jesse Smith

[matron123]

Hello I am looking for help on a Jesse Smith (possibly Romany) I found him baptised in 1907 in Cambridge his father is Levi Smith. The only census I have found is the 1939. He married an Alice Elizabeth Ashton who's father was John in 1937 Cambridge. Alice at the time was living in a caravan on Coldhams Lane Cambridge and Jesse was living in Cottenham Cambs.
Thank you
Sheila
