I'm sorry I can't give you any more info  on the pair Brian to add to your tree.
Ambly thanks for the census, at least now I have another line to follow
if it's possible would love the census info on the couple after 1851.

Regards

Hi Could you help with my Wells family 

 I didn't know that Wells might be connected to the gypsie families, but saying that I remeber going to goose fair as a little girl and being taken inside a beautiful caravan it took my breath away with the fine china & mirrors it was a cousin as I remember, he owned the Walzter ride

Any way my Wells family I think came fromr Long Buckby Leicestershire
I would love to find out  more
Regards
Charlie   


Wells researchers can be found at http://www.wells-genealogy.org.uk/wells.htm

The main Wells Gypsy families came out of Hampshire:

We were contacted by a Wells group on the east coast of the USA but have now lost contact with them.

There were trading links with Wells gypsies selling horses to the US possibly out of Liverpoool.

We have put up a page for Joseph's travelling theatre:

Hello Sandy
I do have a little more, on a peice of paper that I found shortly after Mum's death, concerned Samuel ;
 EDITH HOLLAND sister, not known if it is married name or a maiden name.
There is aslo reference  to his Mother being married before and the name DANES wrote down.
 and a scribbled mention of Kings Lynn.
He was  a Catholic, and as I said before an Army private if that helps any, sorry it is not much to go on I know as I have tried till it has drove me insane, but I thought maybe a fresh mind and all that, there is no one to ask and he was not a very kind man to me or my siblings, we never knew anything about him as we could never allowed to go in his house, & he never ever spoke to us, only Mum was able to go in, why I have no idea, I think it must have had something to do with father because we were not able to tell him that we gone with Mum to visit.
But I need to trace him for Mum's memory as I promised her I would find her family

hello Sandy
thank you for the quick reply, however I must have confused you, Florence Mabel Ashford parents were STEPHEN ASHFORD & KATE CATHERINE WELLS the father of Kate was EDWARD WELLS from Long Buckby that you found for me, i am so sorry to have not made myself clear to you and wasted your time, ( it is my medication, I have to take Morphine , I have concentration problems;) Florence was born 1897 in London.
If I have caused you any trouble I am deeply sorry
Beryl
