Thank you for the information,

I do remember my Mum ‘Sylvia’ used to say that exact years of birth were sometimes not known with some family members, so thank you for your post i found what you wrote very interesting,

My Grandparents Oliver & Louise Scamp, their daughter Esther who died at 3 years old in 1949, her date of birth on her birth certificate is 23rd February, but on her gravestone her date of birth says 24th February,

When my Mum and her sisters used to meet up, over a meat pudding, they used to talk about their lives regarding travelling in the wagons, fruit picking, the haunted places they used to stop and stay at, they would chat for hours, i do miss them all,


I was told that my Grandparents were 1st cousins,
My Nans maiden name was Matthew, and on my Mums birth certificate it reads
Louise Scamp formally Matthew,

They did say that the Matthew’s had a fairground attraction,

I am interested in finding out more about the Matthew’s family as well, so if anybody knows anything more, please do leave a message on here,
