[murphies]

The only info i have is from past family wanted to see if it was true or just family rumour.Do know Ann Spooner as she was ,was always known as a gipsy.

Maybe she could read palms / tea leaves.  People are often linked with gipsies when they are said to do those things.   

Have you located all of the children in 1901 and 1911

There was one photo i ever saw hanging on my grans wall,it was my aunt sitting on the caravan steps.
Typical wooden gipsy van. my aunt told me it was an aunt of hers.

You need to work back from your gran and the aunt who you heard it from then.

Who was your gran and who was the aunt

[murphies]

Marion Taylor nee Herbert. gran
Aunt was Maisie Taylor all families i had contact with are past.

Would this be the family?

Maisie A Taylor mother’s maiden name Herbert

There is this marriage in 1915 - in Edmonton though 

Samuel Taylor and Marion Herbert

This is confusing if that is your family.
There is a published family tree - with photo of Samuel Taylor and Marion Herbert, also Maisie.
Samuel Taylor is born 1885 in Northumberland. His parents are William Taylor and Ann Young.
