     i wonder who these are as if they are rebeccas mum and siblings  as suggested  then surely they shouldnt be Locks, unless rebecca was a Lock before aswell as after " marriage"

I simply thought thet Rebecca must have been a Lock!
Did travellers register their marriages (forgive my ignorance on the matter)?

Have been trying to work out where "The Heath" is/was.
Union Street still exists, and I found Bailey's Wood near Wrington (Bailey's Wood Walled Gardens is marked on Google maps).

Having grown up in Portishead (just a few miles away), and having spent a few years driving around Nailsea, I can't place The Heath?

  not all of them  got married  in a church or reg office , they had there own ways of doing it which in there eyes was just as good, they often married within the groups they travelled   or extended family so she could of been a lock aswell.   they also like to swop last names,  with children sometimes using there mothers last name sometimes the fathers and sometimes a different name altogether. so it can make them a challenge 
  i dont know Nailsea at all even though i dont live that much father down the m5 dont think ive ever been there

if you live near portishead have you been to yatton graveyard?there is alot of gypsy graves there including the joules/joles family.they also married into the locks so you might find some lock baptisms,marriages or deaths in the parish records there.the lock also favoured weston supoer mare and in the old days what was called gloucester was sometimes part of bristol!!!!!!!!!
