Hi, I've been researching my line of LEE's who according to census forms they lived in the Kingswinford/Woverhampton area of Staffordshire, my direct connection is Hannah LEE b.1728, Kingswinford, daughter of Richard LEE b.1705, Kingswinford, Richard was married to Hannah BENNET b.1706, Birmingham, my LEE's occupations were: tin plate worker, tin plate maker, tinsmith, wood engraver, cooper (this particular occupation was passed down generations), blacksmith, wondering if these LEE's are of gypsy ancestry, many thanks, Catherine.
