Hi list, my grandparent were only married for one year in 1920, so I have very little information on my grandfather's family. My grandfather's name was James Fredrick KNIGHT and his father was Herbert KNIGHT a blacksmith about 1890's Middlesex, England. I assume that a blacksmith is the same as blacksmithing? I wonder if someone could please tell me if it ran in families as a trade or did people have an apprenticeship? If it did run in families, would the family stay in the same area, for example Middlesex? I would be grateful if someone could please give me some basic information about blacksmithing. Thank you.
