Hello All
Thank you for your replies, I hadn't received them previously - sorry for the delay.
Poppygale I will private message you.
and J.J thank you for pointing out the posts. I know how you feel looking up people from a travelling community - the other half of my family are Romany, so can be quite fun trying to hunt them down!

Hi
Im think there was a Shaw connection, maybe an Elizabeth? I would have to go back through my notes and check for you.
I know my Buckleys had connections to Suffolk as some of the older ones were born there, and had their children christened there too.
Do you know the name of Elizabeth's parents? or do you have any other Buckleys in your tree and I can see if they cross over onto mine and can help you out.

Hi
Cherry Island was actually in London, near the Plaistow area I believe, but you are right in that a lot of Buckleys were settled there. Some of my family were born and lived there.
I lived in Tilbury when I was very little and only live up the road to it now, and some Buckleys did move out that way.
Joiner Buckley is my great x4 grandad. My great nan was Hilda Buckley, daughter of Duriah and Annie, Duriah's dad was Frank, son of Joiner.

My family were Buckleys and yes, Buckley is a Romany name. People in my family were Hawkers and I think this is often a trade that travellers would do.

Hi Louisa
Thank you for replying. No you arent barking up the wrong tree, I do have a marriage certificate for Emily and Frederick, and that is the right one that you have found.
I didnt think to look at who registered Fredericks death (which is a bit dumb of me actually!) but yes i thought she could have married bigamously, nothing surprises me with my family!! the other half of my tree were Romanys, so they tended to tell a few white lies here and there
I will have a look on national archives, so thanks again

Essex / LITSON / HOWSEGO
« on: Tuesday 13 January 09 12:43 GMT (UK) »
Following a previous post on my Howsego family I have found out a little bit more information and am now looking for relatives in the Howsego/Litson family.
My great grandad was George Howsego, born 1904 in West Ham, his mother was Emily Howsego (nee Morris) and he had numerous brothers and a sister: Arthur, William, Albert and Martha. His father was William Frederick Howsego which is sometimes registered as Frederick William.
In 1911 Emily Howsego was living with her children in West Ham, but the head of the house was John Litson, who she went on to marry in the 1st Qrt of 1923. However, William Frederick Howsego did not die until the 4th Qrt of 1923. So i assume that they divorced at some point.
This is the only info i have on the Howsego side of my family and would really appreciate any help.
