Thanks, that takes it back a bit further again. I wonder if they were all living together under the same canvas!

Thanks, Maddie. That's another one to look at. I can't believe how much information has come out of this!

I know this was a while ago but I've just finished this tree - I say finished but it never really is - using the information you all supplied. It turns out the family were travellers and I've learned a lot about their way of life along the way. With your help I've got the certs I needed which was a great help. I couldn't have done it without you so I'd like to say a big thank you to you all.
