I tried messaging you, but it wouldn't let me. You can find it among the back catalogue of the Romany Routes journals. It was published in 2001, so you can get the pdf of the journals from volumes 1 to 5 (which contains the photos) for £5.

https://rtfhs.org.uk/publications/romany_routes/

I do have the pdf myself, but I don't want to upload it on here, since it's not a free item and I wouldn't want everyone to be able to find it and not buy it from the website to support them. I could maybe see if I could find a way to share privately on here.

If you get it, the relevant bit is on page 807 of the document.

I am a descendent of James, son of the Thomas Ball mentioned earlier and brothers to Thomas, Joseph and William.

He lived from 1844-1925 and married an Elizabeth Webster of Hull. His kids carried on the travelling lifestyle, but his son on my side stopped in the 1920s due to a back injury. My great granddad being around 10 at the time and the last in my line to have lived the traveller life for any stretch of life. His family settled in North Lincs. I know my great uncle included a photo of them, dated from around 1900 to a Romany Routes feature 2 decades ago.
