Lester Hathern is near Loughborough Leicestershire....

So looks like we have a different father and different county?

well now,
not only am I searching for the most prolific name in the country, he had a horse and caravan, puts a new slant on "did your dad have a bike"

the above also lets me know why I got the nickname Fang during my apprenticeship.
I was in the radio room and was told there was a young lady in reception to see me. I shot through like a bullet out of a gun.....................only to find a gipsy trying to sell pegs and the receptionist couldnt get rid of her. "clear off we dont want any" did the trick.
She must have seen something in my eyes and was frightened I would put a curse on her, must be my gipsy blood. pmsl.

i believe the father to be correct as his son william smith was my grandfather, I was reliably told by my aunt that her dad was born on a fairground site.

LOL you have to laugh,I have missing Smith's all over the country given up looking for them now.But I do think you may have to start again back to what you know to be right.Traveller's are terribly hard to track.As I said I have the disc's for nottingham and there isn't any William and Minnies marrying or any children being baptised.
