Smithing: a smith is a person involved in the shaping of metal objects.

St Clement's Day was traditionally, and in some places still is, celebrated on the 23 November,
a welcome festival between Halloween and Christmas.
Saint Clement is the patron saint of metalworkers and blacksmiths,
and so these workers traditionally enjoyed a holiday on his feast day.

Blacksmiths: Thomas Briggs, Thomas Richards, Alexander Brown, and Shipwright William Baskett.

This is my personal collection of blacksmiths, cartwrights, wheelwrights, shipwrights, farriers, iron workers and other related occupations. They are compiled from census records and from the contributions of other generous researchers who have shared their ancestor's details with me. A special thanks to Barry from New Zealand, for his assistance.
I regret I can not offer to research for you - the only information I have regarding your ancestor is already on this index.
