hello;you mentioned smiths of Nottingham, well i have family, smiths of Harby in nottingham, and we have an extensive family tree; we were the smiths tailors in nottingham and london, and smiths jewellers are related.  I do not have the family tree with me, my mum has copies of it. And we are all romany/spanish gypsy heritage. the Smiths of Nottingham are related to the Boothes of Nottingham.  It is my Grandad who is most well known amongst the Gypsies of Nottingham, Eric Smith from Harby...There is a Martha Smith in our family tree, but i will have to check with my Mums family tree, and double check who your Martha Smith is...the thing is, the Gypsies did get their children christened, but sometimes it seems like you come to a dead end, then only to realise that they church hopped,lol. xx
