hi, taves, when researching romany family history, remember that first names are used again and again, thats why traveller people tend to use nick names. like kicking tom or black john, its to tell the difference between close family members. there are in my family, six williams, all full cousins. five roberts.eight matts, and so on, some times we will use a second name, i.e william george. may become georgy. or robert william, may become bill?so when a census was taken the first name they give, may not be the same as the name they use. also its a practice for familys to camp together. so your buckland are more than likely to be relatives. when i was a boy and camps were easier to get,all my relations would shift and camp together, so you would have wilsons millers mitchells lowthers marshalls, all 1st cousins and other romany all related.staying at one camp, at the census time. just to make things harder my 1st cousin as one son, john george. and one george john! with just a year between them. you will also find family groups in streets and houses. my own cousins some times spent months living with us. so could be taken as a family member if asked. no real help i know but may give you an insight into what your after. and as you may know with romanyfolk they are rarely what they tell you?.. cushty.bok.rob..g
