I was contacted through Ancestry by a Donna Price from Cheshire who has told me she is a Romany and matches my DNA. Her mother's side are from Norfolk originally. Although she knows the Gaskins as a family name, she doesn't know how we are both connected to one another. She is of the view we are connected through her mother's side of the family (Greys). Be interested to learn is the Greys are connected to the Gaskins in some way.

I don't think it's through Gaskin or Gray. It'll be on Bertie's side via Fletcher or possibly Hoadley or even both. They are connected to Donna's Tapsell tree.

1881 is even more interesting. They are listed under the name "Umbrella", e.g. Fred Umbrella, Sarah Umbrella etc.

Fred Umbrella   27
Sarah Umbrella   26
John Umbrella   10
Susan Umbrella   8
Joseph Umbrella 7
Fred Umbrella   6
Kate Umbrella   3
Polley Stone   1

Don't know who Susan is (think she's too young to be Sarah's daughter Sarah), but I feel like the child listed below her might be the Joseph Livermore who married Matilda Stone. I used to wonder why his birth is listed on another census as being in Sittingbourne but comments above explaining the family's hop-picking travels explain that nicely.

I'm 10 years too late here but wanted to post some info on here so that it comes up in Google searches and others can investigate it. The Livermores are hard to find in the 1881 and 1891 censuses and it's no wonder. They're listed in West Tilbury under the name Goody in 1891 and this is mistranscribed on Ancestry as "Gordy":

Frederick Gordy40   Head
Sarah Gordy   40   Wife
Frederick Gordy
17   Son
Lewis Gordy
10   Son
Catherine Gordy
11   Daughter
