Hi Charmaine.

I have downloaded the marriage certificate for Ruth and George. 23rd June 1919 at East Molesey, Surrey. He is down as 24 a private in the army, father Frederick Parker, Dealer. Ruth is down as 21, father Albert Sines, Dealer, (deceased).

I'll have to look and see if Fred links up to Job Parker and Lemontaney Carey. They had ten children I know of born over twenty five years 1869-1894, two sons, eight daughters, but I don't think they had a Fred.

I have been looking into the Brazils though, and it looks as if George Brazil and William Brazil who married Violet Burden  and Matilda Sayers (1st cousins,  grandaughters of Job and Lemontany) were both brothers of your great grandfather James Brazil who married Cordelia Sines. Their parents were William Brazil and Charlotte Bury.

The Brazils can bet traced  well back to the 1750s as travellers. The Sines I'm having more of a struggle with tracking back, but will keep looking:

James Brazil (1905-1983)+Cordelia Sines (1908-1988) married 1929 Surrey
|
William Brazil (1881-1964)+ Charlotte Bury  (1880-1956)
|
Matthew Brazil (1845-1919) licensed hawker +Selina Collins (1848-1894)
|
John Brazil (1819-1883) a tinman and travelling hawker + Priscilla Harlet (1818-)
|
William Brazil, (1795-1871) a  travelling mat maker and chair turner, +Jane (c.1786-1869)
born Penshurst, Kent
|
John Brazil (1768) traveller + Hannah Jones married 1788 Herstmonceaux, Sussex
born Penshurst, Kent
|
William Brazil traveller (c.1745) and Ann

William and Jane Brazil are on the 1841 census camped with two elderly Jones and Smith women who must be relatives of some sort I'd think.

Not sure if this thread still has interest to some but, doing my family tree, I've managed to trace one strand of my lineage back to John Brazil and Priscilla Harlet.

Through discussions with my grandmother and other relo's, I've found I have quite deep Gypsy roots and these Brazil's, as well as Hoadley's, go back to at least Sampson/Samson (1844-1906) and his wife Matilda (nee Parker, 1845-1919.)

I am well aware of their travelling exploits which meant that censuses would've been a pain as the conductors of each census wouldn't've been able to keep track of them due to not being in the one spot.

John and Priscilla were a pair of my 4xGreat-grandparents.

As this is my first post, I'm interested in knowing more about the Hoadley's, Brazil's, Parker's and Harlet's.
