Hi Poly,
Thanks very much for your message. I've also heard Salome Hedges, who was from a fairground family, linked to William Stone from one of my DNA matches. I wonder if Salome Smith and Salome Hedges are the same person? I've not found any records to help so I'm a bit stuck! I can't find anything useful in the 1901 or 1911 census when my great grandfather would have been a child.
It's possible I'm barking up the wrong tree but my DNA matches a large number of people on the Giles/Lovell tree and my 2x G Grandfather is definitely a William Stone, Romany horse dealer.
Thanks
