Back to the original posting...There is mention of an adoption of a baby from a Boswell mother...who worked for a Carter family. Intriguing enough to mention & post the url, methinks.
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=648730.0 Has anyone checked the 1921 census to see where Margaret Hedges /nee Boswell was born? Still am wondering if she was from a prominent family/group of travellers, as her burial ritual gathered quite the crowd!
Also still so very sad for the woman who bore 12 babies, saw so few survive...and then died trying to deliver her 13th.
