Yes, I did find Frederick and Elizabeth together, with daughter Elizabeth on 1901 census. Her surname was Cox.  I traced her mother Kate to Ireland.  She was Kate Cox-Muligan.  So why was my grandmother so adamant she was Romany?  She even went so far to say she was related to Gypsy Rose Lee and the orginal Gypsy Lee was a pirate called the Black Prince.
Incidently, she married George Edward Pack in 1916 in London, she had two sisters, Virginia and Nell and a brother Fred, born after 1900,  ::)so if anyone is looking for the same line I'd be very interested.

Thanks a lot

The info about the Eltham site and the Passing through website are wonderful.  Now I've just got to find the link between Cox and Lee and I'm laughing. ;D

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help.

My greatgrandfather, Fredrerick Callaghan married Elizabeth Cox in 1897, in Woolwich.  I know my grandmother's family were Romany and related to the Lees.  My uncle thought her mother's maiden name was Lee, but it appears to be Cox.  Her mother was Kate, born in Ireland 1855. Could her name be Lee?  Does anyone know of the Romany Lees, either in Sittingbourne, Kent, Woolwich or East London? ?
