Now lets try to explain this a little better
I am descended from a HEDGES family who lived for a while in Chatham and was contacted recently by a lady in Australia. She is the granddaughter of Henry HEDGES and Margaret BOSWELL it is for her that I am trying to find out about her BOSWELL line. I only know that her Henry HEDGES was born and lived in Chatham.
I am  sure the marriage was in Chatham as it was registered in Medway. I can ask the Lady for the exact details but this will take some time. I know it's not much to go on, but I don't thing she knows much more.
Thanks Jenny

It might be posting a link to this thread on The Travelling People board.

There are people researching BOSWELLS who may be able to help.

hey nenefer, yes  Shocked Margaret ( noony ) Boswell was married to my nans brother Henry. she died in childbirth. the funeral was held at my nans house in Best St. Chatham. The huge procession walked from there to Palmerstone Road cemetry where she is buried. most of her daughters went to australia. one lives in Norwich. she has a picture of her. l will telphone her. She will be able to tell you much more. Whats the connection? l am getting more and more excited by the minute.

Hi everyone,
I've just read about the Hedges family. I believe Henry Hedges, married in 1914 to Margaret Boswell,
is related to me. They had quite a large family, although several babies died at birth. I would be
grateful if anyone else knows of this family. They lived in the Medway area UK.
Joyce.

Hi Everyone

Popping over from the "Hedges' Thread... Grin

Just a thought .....

I am wondering if Margaret isn't the daughter of Ellen/Eleanor and John is a 'fictious' father Roll Eyes

Following on from Tiggi's find in 1901

We find David Boswell (1838)  married to Margaret :

 1871= St George in The East, London
78 Sutton st
 David Boswell 35 
Margaret  37 
Ellen  3 
David W  2

1881 =   St John Hackney
23 Clarence Rd
David Boswell 36  age ??  Roll Eyes
Margaret 35  age ??  Roll Eyes
Ellen  13 
David  12 

1891 = Barking, Essex
David Boswell 40  ...they never seem to age  Grin
Margaret 36 
Ellen  20 
John May 26  ...born Hackney

1901 ...see Tiggi's post

1911
Romford Essex
in The same household as Margaret Boswell b 1893
David Boswell b 1838
Ellen Boswell b 1869


so I wonder if this is Margaret's Birth Registration
Margaret Ellen Boswell ...Middle name = Mother's name?
Jun q 1895 - Romford, Essex
Vol 4a pg 446 

Maybe JOHN May of the 1891 census is her dad?

deb Smiley

oops ... added ... Just seen Tiggi's marriage Margaret has middle intial "M" ..so can't be Margaret Ellen  Embarrassed Embarrassed

Travellers = Penfold, Orchard, James
Devon = Middleton,  Waterfield, Adams, Clark/e, Gould
Cornwall = Palmer, Carnarton, Slack/Smith. Morris/h
Wales, New Quay = James, Evans

Boswell gypsy/travellers on earlier censuses...a few Johns listed....wonder if perhaps the birth might not have been listed if they were travelling...
http://romanygenes2.webeden.co.uk/#/census18613/4526606214
http://www.romanygenes.webeden.co.uk/#/newcensus/4529826973
and here, Levis Bosswell, a gypsy leader,was a horse dealer
http://www.romanygenes.webeden.co.uk/#/grandolddukkerindays/4527668317
Here a Lazarus & an Alfred are horse dealers ( use scroll at bottom)
http://romanygenes2.webeden.co.uk/#/census1881/4526695226

apparently "Boss'll" was synonymous with "gypsy"

Looked for M* M* B*l and didn't see a  M__ Margaret  or Margaret M____ although she might have been given the middle name if/when christened....and if Margaret was her middle name but used most often, then also a toughie....

Was hoping the names of her children might leave a clue...prolific family
They had a dozen children all told, starting with twins!
Daisy & Violet, John, George,  Rose A. E., Arthur, William H.,  Ellen L., Margaret M, A.,  Percy A., Joyce V., George T.,

In 1901 there is a John Boswell, age 33 , Lancashire, Much Hoole with occupation down as "Travelling Gipsies"
also one age 33 in Walworth London / St John occ: Horsekeeper
One age 50  Llandysilio /Travelling In Caravan...likely the one from above in 1861
but can't see intothe actual census images...anyone of interest?
