Help with trying to connect two Smith Families

[Mr Edd]

Hi All

I am trying to establish any possible link between two groups of Smith Families.

I am linked with Absolom Smith born c1750/1768 North Marston, Bucks, who was a sibling of Fido & Jasper.

Absolom Smith was buried aged 60 at Twyford, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire in 1826, there is quite a bit on the net about him, he was known as the "King of the Gypsies"

Absolom married Elizabeth Jones in Hillmorton, Warwickshire in 1813, I think this was his 2nd marriage (1st to Mary)

I am trying to find some link between Absolom Smith & another man by the name of Esau Smith who was also known as the "King of the Gypsies" he married Cinamenta  (Henty) & they lived on the Black Patch at Smethwick.

If I am correct it's something to do with Woodfine Smith & I think that Hillmorton is the key, but try as I might I cannot grasp a connection.

Hope someone knows.

Regards

Eddie
