Is anyone researching the surnames Ross, Hodgkins or Butler? Recently found new gypsy relatives! I also have Hoskins and Egertons but have posted about them before.

Hi There,
I am researching Butlers who appear in the Tewkesbury/ Cheltenham area.
I have
Charles Butler married to
Ellen Butler nee Hodgkins
they have Violet, Reuben, Naomi, Cornelius and Mahoney all Tewkesbury/Twyning, Gloucester.
Reuben marries a Mary Ann Jones from Cheltenham and they have their children in Cheltenham, Ledbury and Malvern, they are living in a tent in the 1911C ( Chance's Pitch)they seem to settle down in Malvern, after Reuben dies in 1920 they don't go on the road again.
Reuben is my link, I'm trying to ascertain if these Butlers are related to the 'Famous' butler family, that the The Romany & Traveller FHS has published a book on.
