A tinker was originally an itinerant tinsmith, who mended household utensils. The term "tinker" became used in British society to refer to marginalized persons.[citation needed] In this later sense, "tinker" may mean:
Tinker as a surname is a very old Anglo-Saxon name, with variations of Le Tinklere and Tinkler, appearing when surnames were adopted, many from occupations. Having no Irish or Romany connections, it is found mainly in Yorkshire and Norfolk. A Tinker was listed among the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 to the New World, but he died within a few months.
The Tinker name did not occur in Ireland until the late 17th century, after the English Civil War, when former members of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army settled there after service. The Gypsy connotation arose later from tinkers who travelled the British Isles to ply their trade. Tinkers were originally not Romanies nor Gypsies, although some Romany adopted the tinker's trade.
Tinker descendants are recorded as living in the parish of Letheringsett near Holt in North Norfolk. After moving to Kensington in London, others now live mainly in the South of the UK.[citation needed]
