Title: Blacksmiths in Lincolnshire
Post by: Ed8mund on Wednesday 09 February 11 15:08 GMT (UK)

Is there any lists of Blacksmiths working in Lincolnshire in the 1800's.
My g.g. Grandfather was Blacksmith at the time of my g Grandfather's marriage in 1839.
I believe he came from Castle Bytham.
Thanks for any info.
