Any help appreciated, Carey, Hedges, Lewis and Bragg

Do you have access to 1901 census - these seem to be Hedges/Gobey/Smith families - Hedges has been enumerated "Hedger" though. There is a Janie, age 14, born Shere who would seem to fit with Nelwild's Jane
RG13/601 Folio 92 Page 1 - Netley? Heath, Shere, Surrey

Hi Fancypants

I was wondering if you could share your information on the Lewis side especially the reference to the caravans and gypsies, as my grandfather was a gypsie George Lewis, he was British and was born England and faught in the second world war. I have been told by family memember that his grandmother was the Queen of the gypsies. Unfortunately all of my family on my mother side are deceased so information is a little hard to come by. By sharing your information would help me reduce my research. I have just started though but I will be more then willing to share anything that I find regarding the Lewis family & gypsies.

hi,

i know this thread has long since died off but was wondering if anyone on here had made a connection for Jane Hedges who married Joseph Vinson?

I think she was the daughter of Sampson Hedges b1846, who seems to have sometimes gone by Samson or Samuel, who was in turn the youngest son of Thomas b.1800/1 and Eden Hedges b.1800/1

i would be grateful if anyone could let me know if im right in my thinking.

Thanks

Hello, although this message trail is somewhat old now, I wondered if anyone had more information about Elias Carey mentioned further up. I believe he was my great grandmother's cousin (Unity Lee nee Parker). I think I have a photograph of him in WW1 uniform and I wondered if there was any family recollection of him serving in the Labour Corps. It's a long shot, but it would be great if anyone could help me put the final pieces of the puzzle together.
