Thank you for this information. I am very grateful for your time, it is much appreciated.

I am sure my dad will be very interested to hear that Coopers were also a travelling family as he was under the impression that it was only the Jones side of the family that were (though I did think myself they were)

Travelling People / Brettenham Road/Lawrence Street Edmonton(Enfield)

My Romany background shows my great nan living in these two streets in the early 1900's, I know she still had her wagon in the mid 1900's when she died as she left it to my dad and am wondering whether these 2 streets ever had a travellers camp, or whether the family had settled by then and she had just kept hold of it (she married into a non romany family)

Thanks Stan, I'll see if I can find anything that helps on google.

Hi Charlotte this is the part of the entry on the  census showing her and her possible family in the order it is written on the census.

James Arnold      Married         26      Working/Hawking Cutter?? (hard to read)
Jane Arnold        Married         32        no occupation given
Joseph Arnold                          6         Scholar
James Arnold                          2months
ISABELLA ARNOLD               11      Scholar (my 3 x g.mother)

Not sure how Isabella is related to the others. The list above is in the order that the entrys are, so am assuming she must be a neice of James? Isabella gets married at 16 so the next census shows her with her husband. I have no records to this of her either on the pervious census or a birth entry.
I was only wondering as I am trying to trace the Romany line on my fathers side and am not sure whether it is this line or the other family line!

The Common Room / licensed lodging house mid 1800's
« on: Sunday 12 July 09 08:59 BST (UK)  »
I have come across a record showing my 3 x great grandmother aged 11 living in Blakenys Buildings Licensed Lodging House Islington on the 1861 census.

I am wondering if anyone knew what kind of people lived in lodging houses or why they lived there?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / May Dorothy Ross Marriages-COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 02 July 09 11:35 BST (UK)  »
I can seem to trace my nans marriages, can anyone help me? They were both in Edmonton.....

Ancestry only seem to have marriages 1837-1915 1984-2005, unless i'm missing something, which is quite likely!!!

May Dorothy Ross B:1926 married Alexander Cooper B:1927 around 1944


May Dorothy Cooper (nee Ross) married Robert Woodard B:1927 between 1951 when Alexander died, and 1960 whe my uncle was born
