Smith's in Nottinghamshire on my mother's side...occupation on census docs of several male family members is 'Tinsmith'. Has anyone got further info on where I can find family trees /records for the Nottinghamshire Smith's please, so I can try and find out if there's a link? Thanks.

Thankyou for all replies , very much appreciated - our family is very disjointed and I have currently only got hearsay to go on, and all the relatives I could ask are no longer with us... maybe the Michael is a different family member from further back , definitely remember my grandmother telling me this story about a family member/ancestor. My memory is a bit sketchy on what I've been told with regards to who and when though. What is best way to access the 1911 census - ancestry UK? Am very new to all this, thanks for any pointers!

Hi, am trying to find further information about the Nottingham Smiths, any info/tips/pointers/suggestions etc would be grateful received and much appreciated.
My grandmother was Marian Mary Smith, born 1904. Her father was Michael Smith and her mother was Ann Tomlinson. Michael Smith's family listed as tinmen and lacemakers , in the Bullwell Green area of Nottingham. May well not be travellers or may be settled ones, but with the surname Smith and occupations of tinmen and lacemakers it's been suggested that they may have been or that there may have been some links there. The family story is that Michael Smith was orphaned at 2 years of age as both his parents died in an influenza epidemic. He was subsequently brought up by his siblings. Been unable, so far, to trace a birth certificate for him. That's all the information that I have. Currently tracing my family history , interested in any information if anyone can help shed any light, so that I can rule things out or check things out as applicable, thanks in advance for any help with this one.
