Robert and Evening Smith, Lincoln

[DEvans]

Hi. Robert and Evening Smith were my GGG Grandparents. Siberani Smith(their DIL) was myGG gran, and brought up my Gran (Harriet Smith) as her own. If anyone has any information about Siberani and her family, I'd be delighted to hear from them. Harriet's brother Thomas, was killed in the Dardanelles. He had 2 sons, one of whom(apparently) was owner of the Lincolnshire Chronicle. Likewise, I'd be delighted to hear from anyone connected.

Were the family Travellers?

Hi Carole, Thanks for your reply. Siberani Smith was married to Thomas Smith and died in Lincoln in 1917. She was born somewhere in Northants. The family were gypsies/travellers. I know Robert and Evening are both descendants of Wisdom Smith(from mid 1700's).  Siberani and Thomas'  daughter Mary Ann was my GGrandmother. On a census document it has Harriet(my Gran) down as their daughter, but she was Mary Ann's(born, I think when Mary Ann was very young) father unknown.

I can't seem to find any marriage for Robert and Evening.

The earliest baptism seems to be for Isabel on 10 December 1817, Robert occupation is described as Gipsy. In Wymondham.

Did Robert and Evening marry?

Not found anything on Siberani Smith other than on census with husband Thomas and Banns for their marriage - as previously mentioned their marriage certificate should give you the name of her father
