Hi. Does anyone know if the Orchard family were travellers please.
My surname is Orchard, and I am interested to learn of my heritage. Many Thanks

There's a nice book The Life and Story of May ORCHARD written by Dorothy Orchard about her mother May (1935-1990).

It includes a photo of May Orchard, Caroline FRANKHAM and Florrie SMITH out calling.
