I have Gypsy Hedges ancestors -they did a circuit that took in Kent, Sussex, Surrey & Middlesex.  Do send me a PM if you'd like to exchange details.

My Dad and Grandfather, both Hedges’s and from East Ham.
My Great Grandfather James Hedges was born in Kent and died in East Ham.
His Mum was a Gumble before marrying James Hedges, both from Kent. All were travellers.
I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather and his parents please if anyone can help.

I can see this via old newspapers:

In October 1888 at Dalston (Yorkshire?)  "Daniel Gumble, a young gipsy, was charged with a violent assault upon John Roster, his father-in law, also gipsy".

So possible that you could find Gumble and Roster together in records.
