Hello Jenny my name is Diane and I believe that Job Peters is my great great grandfather.
Job & Fanny had a daughter called Susan or Susanah she keeps coming up with different names. Susan was my great grandmother she married Henry Black... One of their children was my nan Violet Black she married Henry Smith they had two children , my father and his brother.
I was wondering if you had anymore information on any of them.
I know the Black side and Smith side of the family are travellers so I'm assuming the Peters are as well from what my dad has said. Kind Regards Diane

You possibly have this already, a newspaper item mentioning a Job PETERS at Lyndhurst in 1887, not that far from Lymington.

"LYNDHURST PETTY SESSIONS ...
  DAMAGE TO TREES.- Job Peters and George Lakey, gipsies, were summoned for willfully damaging trees at Minesteed, on the12th ultimo. by chopping off branches, to which they pleaded gulity, saying they thought there was no harm in chopping off  a little dead wood, but would take care they did not appear again. - The damage was estimated at 6d, and the value of the wood at 1d. - The defendants were ordered to pay the damage. a fine of 5s and 5s 5d costs. - Lakey did not pay the money, and was committed for fourteen days with hard labour. ..."

Hi thankyou for that newspaper clipping its great seeing and learning things about long gone relastions. Are you related to Job Peters? Ive only just starting looking into my family tree properly the last few days so haven't found much at the moment. I was told that a couple of Jobs and Fanny's children ended up in a institute do you know anything about that?

Hi Diane

Very few people who reply to posts are related to the people asking for help or information.

However, historical posts are never deleted and friends and relatives generally find there way here through internet search engines.

As maddys52 mentions, as long as the email address hasn't changed since 2018, jenny53 will receive a notification that you have posted.

Fingers crossed.

Hello Maddy thankyou so much for getting back to me. I dont really know much yet. Im very intrigued by what Jenny said about there being a dark past within the family as my dad said that is grandmother Susan who was one of Job's daughter didnt talk much about the family and from what he has said none of my family met them. I know Job came from Burbage in Wiltshire I haven't found much on Fanny. Im surprised by how much there is on other gypsy families as I was always led to belive that they didn't register much due to moving about alot and being very secretive. Anything you could find out for me would be great. Im on ancestry but seem to keep coming up against a brickwall
Many thanks Diane

Just to make sure I'm looking at the right family, I'm assuming this is Job's daughter Susan:

Susan Diana PETERS  birth reg Sept qtr 1896 Alton (2c/180) and baptised at Bramshaw on 9 April 1897.

She is with parents Job and Fanny and family in tents at Farleigh Wallop in 1901 census:
RG13/1111 pg18

I can't readily see the family in 1911.

As Jenny said, Job married Fanny JONES in Mar qtr 1894 at Lymington (2b/987).

If Jenny is correct then Job's birth was registered Mar qtr 1860 at Pewsey (5a/178) with mother's maiden name BULL. He was baptised at Burbage on 16 Mar 1860, parents Thomas (sweep) and Kezia.

They are in North Lopham, Hampshire in 1861 (Hard to make out where Thomas is from, somewhere in Hampshire; Kezia/Ann is from Dean, Hampshire):

Thomas PETERS    26   (chimney sweep)
Ann PETERS           19
Job PETERS              1
RG9/687 pg94

I can't readily see a marriage for Thomas PETERS and Kezia/Ann BULL (or similar), will keep looking ...
