Travelling People / Re: Are they gypsies?
« on: Wednesday 11 June 14 22:18 BST (UK) »Hi Tiggi & Honey-Roma. I see you both have Bucklands in your tree. I have an Elizabeth Emily Buckland born around 1877 who is a mystery to me and wondered if you had any knowledge of this family.Hi Nashua, Elizabeth Emily Buckland is related to me through my grandmothers family. I only found out the other day that they were gypsys. I know this link is old but if it gets to you I would really appreciate anything light you could shine on this family. Sue
She married Philip Albert Jones in 1896 in Bristol, naming her father as John, a hawker. I have been unable to trace a birth registration for her. She is in the 1901 census in Bristol living with her 2 children, but no husband. Later that year both her and her husband were charged with neglect & the children put in a workhouse
In 1901 there was a John age 68 & Fanny Buckland age 63 living next to Elizabeth, with adult children Henry, Joshua & Rose all saying born Bristol, I have traced this family back to 1871 and they had other children Percy, Joseph, Jenty, Minnie, Adolphus,Sarah, Cinderella, Circender, Emmily, Motte, Walter, William. The birth place of John is given most years as Oxford, Berkshire. Some years they were in caravans and some in houses but always in Bristol.
Their is no mention of Elizabeth Emily, the nearest in age would be Sarah, which has confused me.
I would really appreciate your advices if you have any knowledge of this family
