I'm trying to find out about a Rebecca smith who was born around 1845 in Milton Surrey.  Well in one census she say Milton and another says Epsom. Her birthdate is a guess as we can't find her baptism anywhere!!! In 1901 we have her with her other half ( can't find marriage ) Joseph James and their children . If anyone has a Rebecca from that time please let me know, we've been searching for years !!

Hi, my graat grandfather was Tommy Smith the son of Sentenia ( Henty) from black patch Smethwick, would like to see my full family tree if anyone has it. My nan was Lilly Smith daughter of Tommy.

I'm interested in Smith/ Holland gypsies. My great grandmother Annie Hadwin born 1875 Leigh, was presumed to be Romany. She and my great grand father Charles Halsall took in a boy called William Holland in Southport born  in 1925. Annie's mother was Jane Smith from Kendal born 1837. I have found a family that fits but no Romany links as yet.  There was mention of links to a Gypsy Queen. I wonder if Henty Smiths family moved anywhere up to Kendal. ??

Hi Philip

The Romany and Traveller Family History Society has published a book containing the family tree of Sentenia. It's called 'The Family Tree of Woodfine Smith' by Josephine Tombs and you can find out more about it and how to order here: http://rtfhs.org.uk/publications/gypsy-families/
