HI All

I am researching the Boswell & Lock families.
I have the Boswells on the 1901 Wales Census  RG13  5247  83  9

Sarah Boswell age 40 Widow   Travelling Gypsies
Joseph Boswell age 19
Agers Boswell age 9
Sarah Boswell  age 7

I have the Marriage Certificate for DORA BOSWELL who married a JOSEPH LOCK in 1916
DORA's fathers name on the marriage cert, is JOSEPH BOSWELL
Any information would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Pughy

hi pughy,
just wondered if you know the husband of sarah boswell,widow 40. it might help to know which boswell she was married to and maybe her maiden name. does it state on the marriage of dora who her father was?

sorry, mis-read the message, just seen that her father was joseph boswell.....apologies.

would think that they must have had more children than is listed as there is quite a gap in ages between the children, which is not thre usual for the gypsies........is it?
on the census that you have found them on are there other boswells....?
