Is anyone aware of a Female gypsie/Romany called Brindley Lee, or her family, living in Manchester in the mid to late 1800's. There is an association with the Kershaw family, however the only Brindley I can find is that of an Eliza Brindley marrying John Kershaw. Thanks

On the 1881 census I have come across a Franetta Smith, aged 19 from Harborough, Leic. She is recorded as being the niece of either Thomas or Eliza Smith. I've also found a record of her death on Ancestry 1909, Uppingham, on there she has the name Tranetta Smith, but I feel sure it's the same...
