Hi Steve,
My great, great grandfather was Robert Wilson, born 1849 Holbrook, Suffolk but he later moved to Kent. He was the captain of a barge and my grandfather always maintained that he was a gypsy. He had 5 children (Robert, Thomas, Elizabeth, Alfred and Edward) all born in Maidstone, sadly he drowned in November 1892.
I don't suppose he has popped up in your research?
