Smith/Campin/Camping Southminster 19thC

[wizbear60]

My wife is looking for further information on these families who were resident in Southminster working as Harness Makers(Smith),Farming(Campin/Camping)
The Trade directories for Southminster have proved useful but we have drawn a blank prior to these on both these families
The direct family eventually ended up in Sydenham.
Regards

All John Smiths born in Southminster.
This is the direct line.
Have detailed info on family born to John Smith of 1825 but struggling on the others apart from their wives names.
The wives families difficult to locate particularly as the Camping's use Campin and Camping as a surname.
Thank you for your interest.
