Hi Michael
Thanks for messaging.
Yes, I have George Oxby Smith in my tree. His mother Maria is the Sister of Ann Selina (Eleanor) Smith, bn Harby, Leicester in 1855. Selina was the Mother of my Grandmother Beatrice. That would make Maria my G/G/Aunt
Maria was also the link responsible for my contact with Kasiah who helped me a lot a couple of years ago, I still get updates from her "Twelvetrees" family on Ancestry.

I have a possible for George in the 1891 Census,
STAFFORDSHIRE > CHECKLEY > CHEADLE > DIST10
RG12/2192

Hello Michael
I have read and found interesting many of your posts over the last few years.
I have just read through the Wilsher, Wilshire thread. 
Looking at your dna matches it appears that we have a link through a female Smith
related to Abraham 1680, Absalom Smith 1768 LeviSmith 1810 Divers Smith 1856 Ambrose Hammi Turtle Smith 1790.....
I have not done a dna. My Smiths are mainly Notts., Leics, and Derbys. My Grandmother, Beatrice was born in Whitwick, Leics in 1880; and is in the 1881 census at Bulwell Forest travelling with her Grandfather, Levi 1810-1883.
Please keep posting
All the best
David

I thank you for this, not sure why I did not see your post earlier. You mention Ruth in your post, this was my Mother. Lily [married Cox] moved to California in the 50's.

Yes I have that wedding. George Lacey, born 1776,is my G G Grandfather. His son, also George, was born in Newark, Notts 1808. George junior is described in several censuses as a brazier or tinman, both common occupations among Gypsies/Travellers.

I have possible links from Kent to Newark on my GGGFathers side.
Callis to Lacey. I wondered if there could be a traveller connection
