ThanksHi emma I sent u an email x
It does look like that as she is the only one that I can find with a birth registration. Perhaps they settled at the start of WW1.Mum told us she was born in a gypsey caravan.She was the baby of the family. She had an older sister called amy also olive and Lily May. Plus the two brothers. I think there were others but they either died at birth or very young. They were strong people. It showed in Maisie xx Miss her very much
So as both addresses are Caravan and occupation Hawker are we looking at travellers and perhaps they didn't register the children's births? Hi, I know my Mothers family are Gypsies. I wasn't sure when they 'dunroaming' your info suggests after my Mothers birth in 1914, but I could be wrong. My amazing Mum passed away 4 years ago aged 98. She was a huge character. xx
Father Elijah has a WW1 Service record - available on Ancestry. (Your local library may offer free access to Ancestry?)Wow my mother said her Father was in the first world war but I thought he would have been too old. I think her oldest brother also Elijah fought. This is so amazing. I have called my older sister and told her. I want to thank everyone on here for this.
