Just to help ye along ye way, Chris; The name's not listed in 'The Black Book'. But, that's one of those things about proving a negative. I.e.; If a name's in there? Bob's found them as Gypsys. If a name's not? Doesn't really mean anything.
What else does the census say about them? Living in a house address? Still doesn't concrete anything.
Cutting to the chase: If it lists them as " Travelling Gypsys, caravans / tents, Somesuch Common " ? Best accept they were Gypsys. But " Hawkers "? Could be anything. Many Gypsys were Hawkers. But not all Hawkers were Gypsys. And not all Licensed, Travelling Hawkers, living in a caravan on a common were
Romani's either.
Pain, isn't it? Dig a bit deeper. See what else they got up to over the decades
