My great grandmother Eliza Smith was born 1897 (according to her marriage and death certs) but no-one knows where. Her father was Charles Smith, shoemaker. This side of the family are not Romany as far as I know, so they should be somewhere. But with the Smith name and no idea of location its impossible. Eliza's daughter is in her 80s and remembers some of Eliza's siblings names - Nora, Ada (who married Thomas Foy), Isaac, Beatrice, Leonard. (But she doesnt know even rough birth years). Eliza married in Nottingham and moved to a village called Clipstone, near Mansfield. Her mothers name is unknown! I know this is a needle in a haystack but I've scoured the census reports for kids of those names and got nowhere.
