Wow a female Master Blacksmith.  They built them strong in those days.

Do you think she took over from a husband and had boys working for her?

Thanks for that date.  Sandra

She is with her husband on the 1871 census so it looks as if she remained in the smithy after his death.

Thank you for checking that.

I did suspect that scenario but wondered if you had to complete an apprenticesip to be a Master........or does it mean employer then?
