William FLETCHER, Tinker (General)

by clicker, Saturday, November 10, 2007, 22:47 (6225 days ago)

My great-grandfather William Fletcher was born about 1859 and came from a tinker family in the Forest of Dean. He was the only one in a largish family to leave the tinker life and he settled in Northampton where he married Lucy Irons and worked in the shoe trade. It is said he previously worked with iron. He was most likely in N'pton in 1884 (birth of eldest child) and appeared in 1901 census when he seems to have given a false place of birth.
I have ordered a marriage cert. for him but this has not yet arrived. It would be great if someone could help me find info about William.
Many thanks
