Thanks Wexflyer, appreciate the reply. Just wondering, not supposing, looking to learn more. Would the travellers generally not be included on a census records?

Ireland / Lee family in Liverpool - Travellers?
« on: Wednesday 18 January 23 21:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
My Lee family first moved from Ireland to Liverpool in the 1820's (not exactly sure of the County, possibly Meath according to records). They were Roman Catholic according to baptism records, and had occupations such as bricklayer, laborer, etc. They lived in the Courts in Liverpool around Vauxhall, Scotland Road, Portland St.
My father moved to the US as a toddler so I'm here, but trying to determine if the Lee family could have possibly been Irish travellers, based upon some reading I've done. I know Lee can be a Romani gypsy name, and I believe also Irish traveller in origin. I also know it can be native Irish or English planter.
According to Ancestry, DNA from my father is all Irish with a bit of Scottish (no English) if that helps.
Any guidance or information on the Lee surname in Ireland or Liverpool, and any advice on where to turn to next? Irish records in the 1820's are scarce, and while the census records point back to Ireland I can't find any confirmed records from there.
Thanks-
Pat

Hi all,
Just came across this. Graham Naylor (OP) - we are I believe 4th cousins. William Webber (married to Sarah Stone) is also my 4th great grandfather (?). His daughter Maria Webber married William Lee, from Ireland, who settled in Liverpool, England. William is my direct ancestor, my great-great-great grandfather. My father David Lee immigrated to the US in the 1940s as a young boy with his parents John Lee and Mary (nee Lyons) Lee.
I know I am connected to a few Naylor's on Ancestry. I don't know much beyond this about my Webber/Stone connection, but from what I've read the Stone name is very common in Devon.
Would love to learn more! Just getting into my family history.
Pat Lee
