I'm looking for some evidence that the Lavenders that were born in/around Warbleton were travellers. My grandmother says that her mother was Romany, and I know that the Lavenders in Ruislip Common in the 1850s were. I've got people showing up on the various censuses in the same area but I can't find any evidence of travellers in the area.
The best I can find is the 1841 census for my great-great-great-great Grandfather and family living 'On the Common'.

I have family on my husbands tree living on the common at Warbleton in the 1841 census.
I had just thought that addresses in the 1841 census were rather vague ie not 56 High Street as you would see today.
I also have people at "the village" in a Dorset 1841 census - also vague :)
My husbands family appear to be living 3 doors away from your family and they are all Ag Labs. :)
In other words, I don't think the address signifies that they were romanies. :)

Hi
I can't help you with the Warbleton Lavenders I afraid, but wondered if you were related to the Ruislip ones? I'm decended from the Ruislip ones and don't think they were travellers (although one distant branch of mine married into the Hearn travelling family).
