Hello
I am the granddaughter of Jane varey born around 1910. She had a sister margaret. They were born in brooklyn and new jersey.
Their mother was violet varey and their father i understand was violets cousin Downs varey.
Downs died in america and violet returned to england.
I understand Downs was a horse trader. I recall being told relatives were travellers working as hawkers / pedlers of oil skin. I would be scolded if I said Gypsy as we are travellers she would say to me.
I beleive that Frank varey was Janes cousin. She was also called Jenny, and Jean.
I know she was raised in a bow top wagon with several half brothers / sisters in Mansfield.
I would love to know more about my family history if anyone can help.
