William's perants were James Holland and Angelina Orchard that is definitely.William Holland definitely had a son born out of marriage who was Jesse Holland born 1834.zThere is no marriage to the Florence Higginbottom I found but as she died in child birth the child was named Jesse Holland mothers maiden name Holland which we know as wrong.I cannot find the Jesse born 1910 would need to find more about his life to see if my Jesse changed his birth date.They were a very uneducated family and in the early days travelled Glossop where Jesse met Danboros but then they were in Somerset,Dorset Wiltshire and in the 1970 's definitely in Somerset.They travelled far and wide but wanted to end their days on a site near Wisbech during the 90's after which they dud not travel far.Jesse hated gaujos and avoided census ect like the plague.In the 1850's he was using the surname Davis  but by the 90's he was Jesse Holland Davis!He would not have known how old he was.His mother died at birth and his dad died when he was 35 years old but I doubt he stopped much with his dad has he had Tb and was a very bad tempered man.His half siblings all settled in Somerset mainly Bridgwater.All dead now.He wanted to settle in the 90's near his wives family near Wisbech.I am wondering if he got age wrong and dud his family thing he was born 1910 getting mixed up with his dad.I just do not know.zThere should be a death for Danboros aswell.As you say they must have death certs somewhere.This is turning out to be very difficult to piece together.

Florence Higginbottom I am referring to as hus mum.

Yes he was born Glossop 1834.I don't think his mum was a traveller but we do know of some Higginbottom's that lived Gypsy life to a certain extent.

Yes Priscilla Benham was born 1922 and died 2015.Her father Ben Benham and her mum Teannie Hughes born 1887.The family travelled far and wide and avoided the cencus,marriage and anything none Gypsy.My husband,s family stopped with them in Somerset,Dorset,Warwickshire and goodness knows where else.We know the Gypsy grapevine quite well! and heard either Rabbits or Jesse died 1998 and the other around 2012.They are always referred to in the past tense.Jesse had 10 children and they were registered but under many different surnames.Jesse and Danboros are definitely buried somewhere around Wisbech but I cannot for the life of me understand why I cannot find deaths for them.
