Hi Blyth Spirit, I noticed the BBC family history site has a lot of info on DNA tests which you might find useful.

Hi, I also have a web of Forrests, Swailes, Morrisons, Cunninghams, Vareys, Millers marrying each other, around Northumberland, Yorkshire and Lancs area, all hawkers/earthenware/horse dealers/travellers. They include a Swailes Forrest (b.1771) brother of Hannibal, married to Christian Millar (1770) daughter of Jacob.

Hi Magpie28, Yes, I have Joseph's father James' parents as Joseph Varey (1820) and Christiana Forest (1823), looks like we have the same family. I will post some more to get up my quota so we can pm.

Hi Magpie28. It is pretty confusing as there are a number of Joseph Vareys all around the same age and probably cousins, but I am pretty sure this Joseph's parents were James Varey (b.1847, Foulridge) and Martha Varey (nee Varey) (b.1850, Lancashire). Joseph and Sarah's children were Hannah, Jemima, James, Mary, Thomas, Agnes, Nancie, Enoch, Frances (not all survived to adulthood).
Joseph & Sarah's daughter Mary also married a Varey (Isaac, b.1896 in Whitehaven - also a bit confusing as he had a cousin Isaac Varey of around the same age. The 1896 Isaac's parents were John Varey 1870 Colne & Margaret Miller 1871 Brampton).
You and I seem to have quite a few traveller names in common in our family trees, but the site won't let me pm you yet as I haven't made enough posts!

Does anyone have any Varey ancestors, travellers/horse dealers/pot hawkers around Lancashire/Cumbria/Westmorland/Yorkshire areas around the late 19th century?
In particular I'm looking for information on Sarah Jane Cunningham, married to Joseph Varey, both born about 1870 in Lancashire. In the 1901 census they are living in Kendal; in 1911 they are in Blackpool, with a Lizzie Cunningham who is possibly Sarah's mum (in 1901 she is also in Kendal, living nearby with husband Andrew).
Grateful for any info.
