Hi Maureen
I haven't got a lot on this side. Rumour was that there was a gipsy connection but I haven't found it. Eliza Ann Tarlton Waters was my husband's grandmother born in 1872 at 3 Algar Rd Bethnal Green, mother Susan Ann SAYER, father George Frederick WATERS, occ stoker. Peter's Dad knew very little about his mother's side of the family. He said that Eliza Ann had a sister Polly, but I guess that could have been Ann or Hannah, and another sister, name unknown who married a WOODHALL. It didn't give me a lot to go on. I've left this branch of his family to last as it was a lot easier to trace the COLMER line than it was WATERS or NEWTON. I've come to a halt on the COLMER side around the 1650's so its time for a change of direction! If you have any snippets of info I'd be grateful as it would inspire me to restart my researches into this branch.
Thanks
Fay
