Hi John,
I do, that’s what started this mission. Going to spend the weekend putting the pieces together, hoping to find some goodies buried on there!

Laura is probably Louisa.

Thank you so much John! My mum is over the moon with the information you’ve been able to find. She’s been thinking about doing this for years. Can’t wait to show her.

« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 13:40 GMT (UK) »Bentley and Amanda. Please consider the following by what is known about Ruth. Her death and 1939 register both have a birth date 6th Aug 1875. On both the 1901/11 census she records her birthplace as Sudbury.
Amanda, you say Ruth has a brother called Job b c1871. This Job was born jq 1871 mmn HEDGES in Sudbury. His parents are William & Harriet HEADGES who married in 1858 Halstead.
I believe Job's father William had at least 2 brother's, Henry and Walter.
Henry Gaskin married Sarah Wellings JQ 1866 West Ham and had the following recorded children
1. Walter mq 1871 Sudbury mmn Wellins
2. Louisa dq 1872 West Ham mmn Wellings
3. John mq 1874 West Ham mmn Wellings
4. RUTH sq 1875 West Ham mmn Wellings
5.Alice sq 1877 North Witchford mmn Wellens
6. Mark mq 1880 Guiltcross mmn Wellings.
Ruth can be found in 1881 census ref rg11 1729 7a 16.
Hawker's caravan
Henry 42, Louisa (Sarah?) 36, Louis 10, John 14, Henry 12, George 8, Ruth 6,Mark 4 (4months)
All born Leytonstone
1891 census RG12 1401 77 20
George Gaskin 18 Hawker
Ruth Gaskin 17
Mark Gaskin 11
On the image of this census page is also William Gaskin with son Job(20=c1871)
The only conclusive way of being sure if this is Ruth's parent's ie Henry/Sarah is to purchase birth certificate to ascertain a date of birth. Must confess travelling people are hard to track.
John
Thank you for this John. I have just had my mum confirm Ruth’s sisters name was Louisa, so it looks like we are on the right track.

« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 08:02 GMT (UK) »Evening,
I have done some research on the Gaskin family and have a Ruth Gaskin born about 1873, she is a sibling of Job Gaskin born about 1871 among other children.
Their parents are William Gaskin and Emma Maria Webb who married in Halsted Essex on 25 Dec 1858, if this is the same Ruth as the one you are looking for I can't say for sure but worth looking into.
All these travelling families are hard to follow up and complete any of them.
Kind regards
Amanda
Thanks Amanda for your post. Last night I had some doubts about Ruth's parents and this morning I have got up early(for me) to re-assess her. So thank your post, it kind of confirms my suspicions re her birth. All the information re her children is ok, it's her birth and parentage that need reviewing.
John
Thanks John, I appreciate the work you have put into this. I did have wonders about Ruth’s parents, as I was always told they were part of the Gaskin travellers that resided in Suffolk, It is incredible to see the different places they had travelled to.

Lottie I am finding very hard to trace unless she went by a nickname.
John
Thanks so much John, Harriet is my grandfathers mother and Joseph is my great grandfather. So great to have extra information about them.
