Hi, anyone who's reading this...

I'm still plodding away on this.  I think there is a definite link with the Booth / Plumb family.

Everett Plumb bn 1833 Notts

Everett Plumb also used the name Everett Booth bn 1864

His sister Mary Ann Plum /Booth / Smith bn 1860 Notts who used all 3 surnames.
Have sent off for some books on Gypsy family history and customs and found some good website - BUT if anyone has any pointers I'd be more than grateful.

My main interest is in Mary Ann Smith bn 1869/70 Arnold/Ilkeston ? who ended up living with George Slater a salt Hawker in Derby till she died...  I have yet to find the death.

Hi again,

Yes this is the same family I'm looking at - I'll have a look at my file tomorrow and come back...
I feel sure that Keziah Booth is connected in someway to the Smith Gypsy family who is encamped with them/beside them during the 1871 census - Keziah is as a Booth and the rest of the family as Plumb's.

I'll post again later when I can get my info  together.

John Plumb 1795-1826 Convict, is my 5x GG.  As I've only just "found" that out, I would appreciate any further information about the crime he committed which saw him transported to Tasmania. 

Thanks,

Robert and Jane Plumb are my fourth great grandparents.  Their son John (my 5x Great Uncle was the one sent to Hobart Tasmania on the Lord Hungerford Convict ship.   John Plumb had two sisters Mary and Maria and a brother, David, all of which appear to have died in the same year they were born.

I found a convict Plumb who was sent to Tasmania in 1823. Grandson of Samuel Plumb (1727) Lambley and Elizabeth Foster.
He was sent there in 1823 (not sure what for yet) when he was there he got mixed up with a bush ranger and was shot in the chin and jaw and died several days later....buried Hobart 1826

This was my 5x Great Uncle, son of Robert Plumb and Jane Plumb.  I have lots of information for him! If anyone's interested please email me at antmeal2@gmail.com.

Not sure if anyone is still searching these families of Smith/Plumb came across a marriage.

22 Sep 1850 Marriage Place:Derby, St Alkmund, Derbyshire, Silvey Plumb born 1825 married Charles Smith born 1826. Fathers Robert Plumb and John Smith.

Waltham on the Wolds and Stow Green Fair were places that I know at least some of the Gypsies would be found known as Lincolnshire Gypsies Brown Gray Elliotts Smith and sometimes Boswell Heron and Lovell from other parts of England. The Booths were known to reside  at Melton Mowbray and there is a story of ancestor a woman which they  said her picture hangs in Belvoir Castle.

1861 23 May Nottinghamshire Samuel Curson and Everett Plumb  2 gypsies were charged with camping on highway in parish of  Maplebeck - ordered to pay costs and warned if found similarly offending they would be  severely punished.

1869 28 May Stamford Mercury  Thomas Elliott charged with using a dog to kill game and assaulting police.... he was fined and costs paid.
Between 5 & 6 am of  13th a considerable number of gypsy tribe were traveling in Vans and other vehicles accompanied by a drove of horses down old Foss road between Cotgrave & Kinoulton.
Everett Plumb and Spencer Smith were charged with similar offences as was Wm Grey another gypsy charged with using a gun and killing a hare on land of Mr hoard Farmer of Cotsgrave. The case was adjourned.
