I know there were some Greens living on narrow boats,I think it was somewhere in the Blackcountry because theyhave turned up when I am searching for my own Greens on census.

Of course there were Woods because Ronnie was one of them.

Interestingly,the Swan Report into education devotes as much time to the needs,or lack of them because there are really no more norrowboat dwelling children,for educational provision as it does to the educational needs of fairground showmens' children and there are thousands of them.
