Travelling People / Re: Wells Family.

Hi,
I am hoping these names mean something to someone, and I have come to a standstill on a part of my tree.
My Great Grandmother was Unity Holland 1892 - 1979, her birth was registered in Yeovil, Somerset, but her baptism was in South Petherton.
Her Mother was Esther Jeffry 1852 - 1929 born in St Austell, and her Father Joseph Holland 1841 - 1905, possibly born in St Johns Common, Sussex.
I am struggling to confirm Esther's parents, I found a birth for an Esther Jessie Jeffry's in 1852, with a Mothers Maiden Name of Wells. Possibly a Jane Wells, and her Father possibly being Thomas Jeffry, (no marriage record found). But, interestingly, I have found a marriage record between a Jane Wells (alias Jane Cooper) and a John Small, in Jersey. Showing Jane's Father as a Benjamin Wells.
Do any of these names mean anything to anyone? Any help or guidance would be hugely appreciated.

Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can help me to fill in some gaps in my family tree. I started researching at the end of last year, and just this week I have discovered a potentially Romany line, but I am getting stuck with finding information.
This is what I know so far;
My Great Grandmother is Unity Holland (1892 - 1979)
Her parents were Joseph Holland (1841 - 1905) and Esther Jeffry 1852 - 1929)
I believe that Esther's Mother was Jane Wells (1828 - 1898), and her Father was Thomas Jeffry (1828 - Unknown). I did find a 1851 Census listing Thomas, Jane and Esther's older Siblings; Mark, Lucy and Benjamin. (All of the children were born in different places, but I can't find any birth records). Esther was born in 1852, so obviously wasn't listed on the Census. I did find a possible birth record with the Mothers Maiden Name of Wells.
Well, the 1851 Census says they were living in a tent, and referred to as Egyptians. They were in Larneath, Cornwall.
I just wondered if anyone recognises the names, or could point me in the right direction.
I have had a DNA test through 23andMe and I have uploaded my raw data to Gedmatch. So, if anyone thinks they have a link to my family I am happy to share my Gedmatch kit no.
Thank you in advance.
