Thanks to the info from genfree I have now found and am in contact with the American branch of the family.
It is hoped that we will meet up later this year or next summer.
Thanks to all for their help.

Sorry it has taken my so long to replay.
Ballyaltikillgan your post was a great help. found out loads about the Boston branch.They lived in Lowell MA. I have down got to Henry's GG kids.There was three lads born 1913 to 16. I know the middle one died in 1973.
Any children they had will be in their 60/70's I should think with kids of their own.
I will keep digging until I find one.

Travelling People / Re: Is there a Romany/Gypsy connection? Abit confused

Met my cousin and he knew nothing about any R/G connection.He had always been told that the family had come to Liverpool from France by way of Kent and Shropshire.
William married a girl from Jersey so maybe he did travel to France.
It's no help only having his wife's first name,Jane, and no year or place of their marriage only 'circa 1840'.

Thanks David,a good name bye the way, your early post had some interesting info.
Sorting out the who's who between them all has been good but now the Bryant family have come into the story.
I would really like to know about how Thomas and Eliza got together but I don't hold out much hope.
I am planning on going down to Langford next year for a visit,to have a look around,go to the cemetery,History Society meeting etc.
Dave.

John Franklin ,1785,and Sarah nee Pier were my GGG Grandparents on my mothers side.
Their son John,1821,married Lucy Rutt,1821,in 1839.In the 1851 census they where living at Main Road Langford with 4 children,Ann,Sarah,Jesse and James.1861 just Landford but now with 7 kids.Alfred,Eliza,Louisa and Jane being the new ones.1871 has them at Normans Cottages,Langford. Rd with only James,Alferd,Lucy/Louisa and Jane at home.Jane married Fredrick Rutt,cousin ?
John and Lucy daughter Eliza,1854, came to Liverpool and married Thomas Henderson 15 feb 1874.He was a coal dealer/carter.Did he meet Elisa when buying coal in the Langford area ?
One of their daughters Florence,1888, was my mums mother.
The Langford area is a bit of a minefield for Franklins and Rutts. There are a lot of them.And they used the same names for their kids.
The Langford & District History Society have some interesting publications.Also on their site you can download a list of people that lived there.

Thank you genfree,so much info. We had an idea one of the relics,on my mums side, went to the USA but not about Henry.
I have a big family get together early next year,mums 90th, so this along with other bits I have will be discussed.
Thank you for your time, 
Dave.

Ann,had the same thing with a branch of my family. The father,William Ballard, was from Ireland and his son,William F Ballard,was born in Liverpool. They were both tin smiths. I found the son on the Romany/Gypsy Connections site in the 1881 census.
