My great grandmother was Martha Hallam (nee Smith) born 1872 died 1946
Family history passed down suggest she was descended from the Smith's who lived on the Black Patch.
Her father was John Smith (b:1833, d:1896) . Married to Martha Mason.
Her grandfather was Sidney Smith, and grandmother was Hannah Smith (nee Key or Keye)
After that the records dry up.
Family stories link them to King Ezra and Queen Henty of the Black Patch.
Can anyone fill in the gaps please.

Jay Cee said and grandmother was Hannah Smith (nee Key or Keye)

Much later but Josephine Tombs' Woodfine Smith Family Tree book shows a Rose KEY marrying Felix/Phoenix CLAYTON Handsworth St James in October 1904. Felix is son of Francis Clayton and Anselina LOVELL.

Francis is son of Trezi Ann SMITH and William Clayton and Trezi Ann the daughter of Woodfine Smith.

Might be worth looking at this Rose KEY to see if you can associate her family with your Keys in earlier times.

Hello I am a Smith I am a traveller 3 out of my 4 grandparents were Smiths apparently all from the same root. My father's parents were first cousins ie 2 brother's children descendants of Jasper Smith son of Thomas Smith and Sarah Taylor.
My maternal grandad also a Smith was descended from Woodfine Smith and Sarah Boswell as far as i have worked out Woodfine is the grandson of Thomas and Sarah and therefore the nephew of Jasper.
I have read all available paperwork that i can find but i do need some help on my mums dads line in respect to his mum Vira who also a Smith was the daughter of who? she had a sister called Sophie who married a Holland and in some way i cannot fathom she had a Neice called Mizzy and 2 nephews named George (Bung) and Jabez who was married to Violet nee Egerton.
Granny Vira also had 2 childrren before marrying my great grandad Tom to 1 of the Hollands
