This is OH's side and very elusive but with the help of kind Rootschatters we have established that there is this:
1881 - RG11/768/69/36
Living in a tent, Woodham Lane, Woodham
John Lines Mar 21 Pedlar Hawker Bunkiss/Bunkers, Surrey
George Harris Mar Pedlar Hawker Buckenhamshire [stet]
Rebecca Lines Mar 20 Living in a tent Buckenhamshire
Ann Harris Mar 24 Buckenhamshire
Henry Harris 1 Chertsey, Surrey
George went on to have another son George b 1884 who married an Ann (Anselina) Harris. They are meant to have been cousins.
The Woodham Lane tent seems to have been a common haunt as they were living there in 1911 and my OH's grandfather was born in a tent near Woking.
Could anyone help me with this family, please.
AGeorge's other children include a Phoebe Harris 1904 who married Edward Ruffle and Annie Harris b 1910(poss Anselina too) who married Levi Loveridge and our link Ernest Albert born 1907...

So 2 families with a similar profile...
-
In the second entry, the families living in tents next door are also rebecca Lines 19 and the family of a Samuel Lines..
Could they have been registered in 2 places?

Do you know anything else about the Ernest Harris, i also have Harris connections who are proving very elusive, your Harrises and mine may have a connection, i aslo have the names George Annie Ernest, do you know anymore names?
-
I have messaged you!

george and anselina harris were my grandparents, i would like to know their heritage
they had several children phoebe, ernest, annie, phyllis, alice, louisa and margaret
i heard they were originally from
cork in Ireland and were tinkers, does anyone know if this is true or not
-
Ooh - they are my husband's great grandparents. His grandfather was Ernest. I am messaging you through here and would love to correspond further! OH is wondering if you are a Ruffell?

I have done some digging with family member and found out that my grandparents George Harris was married to Anselina Chandler and we believe
she was from the moses/Moore family...originally the family lived in Cork
and Thomas Carey married Sarah Anderson, had a son Levi who married Naomi who
had a daughter Ann maria Carey who lived in tents on newlands corner
where the moses/Moore started is unclear..but George Harris was part of that
family who married Ann maria Carey and they had 5 kids...Ernest A, John, Henry
and George who married my grandmother Anselina..hope this is useful
-
Interesting and helpful - thanks. If you do more digging please let me know :)

Hi
I believe our families link somewhere as I recognise the names. My g grandfather was Dangerfield Carey his father was Levi and his father was Levi.
I believe his mother was a Mary Ann Harris.
Please get in touch.

How exciting - it's my ex's side of the family but it's my children's roots. I recognise a lot of the names. I have a huge tree on Ancestry.

..... the moses/Moore family...originally the family lived in Cork
That's interesting. I've somehow got it into my mind that Moore is an Irish Gypsy name. One of mine, with familial / historical connections with Eire, ended up marrying a Moore ~ later in life. After a long widowhood. Interesting choice.
Lot of Harris blood in Portsmouth.
