Marriage Cert:
Aaron Smith, 74, Bachelor, Scissors Grinder, of Broad Lane, Walton on Thames, son of
John Smith [deceased] Scissors Grinder, and
Cordelia Cooper, 73, Spinster, Hawker, of Broad Lane, Walton on Thames, daughter of
Edward Cooper [deceased] hawker married at St Mary's, Walton on Thames by banns 30th November 1908, both made mark in register, witnessed by
John Sines and
Dinah SinesI am having trouble finding them on any other censuses or tracing them back further, particularly Aaron. The South Bucks Free Press 18th June 1859 reports that
Tubal Ancoru Smith and
Aaron Smith, (gipsies) were charged by Sergeant Osborne, with encamping on a highway in the parish of Chesham, on the 10th inst and were discharged on promising not to offfend again.
This may be Aaron, husband of Cordelia Cooper, but certainly he wasn't the only Gypsy Aaron Smith then knocking about i.e:
Aaron Smith and
Alice Smith ’
Travellers’ married at Hillmorton, Warwickshire July 1804
Aaron Smith, son of
Arthur Smith and
Karnation [Lee] ‘
Travellers’, born 22nd June, baptised at Ropley Hampshire 29th June 1807.
Aaron Smith, son of
Cain Smith and
Trinity [Smith]baptised at Rushton, Northampton on 25th December 1814.
I can find no further info on
Tubal Ancora Smith either, but suspect there might be a link somewhere there with
Johnny Ancorn Smith as per Eric Trudgill and Anne-Marie Ford's website
