Blacksmiths in Lincolnshire
« on: Wednesday 09 February 11 15:08 GMT (UK) »
Is there any lists of Blacksmiths working in Lincolnshire in the 1800's.
My g.g. Grandfather was Blacksmith at the time of my g Grandfather's marriage in 1839.
I believe he came from Castle Bytham.
Thanks for any info.
Allen, Howe, Brewster,( Lincolnshire and Norfolk)
Daughtrey, Charman, Comper, (Sussex)

try http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~blacksmiths/index.htm  there is a compilation of Blacksmiths by Ann Spiro that may help.
Brown, Twizell, Storey & fenwick  from Northumberland, Parkinson, from Lincolnshire, Kelly, Kinsella  & Mcguire from Ireland. Mellor originally from Derbyshire, Allens from Norfolk and Jackson originally from Sutton Coldfield.
