Hi J

I have a number of Gypsies called Golden in the Hope family I'm researching - but if you take a look at any records for Essex, you'll find it's surprisingly widely used as a forename in that county.   

That fact has also been confirmed to me by Fred Feather of the Essex FHS.

Always interested in any sightings of Golden Hopes - who started out in Essex but also went into Kent, Hampshire and Dorset.

Hi

I've just tried a search for 'Bohemia' on the Essex Record Office site - http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk - and some interesting refs come up to owners of wooden bungalows in Bohemia Chase in the 1920s and 30s. Webb, Buckley, Gray and Smith are among the names mentioned.

Has anyone ever seen these records? They seem to be building plans.

Hi aa1Webb,
On the same page as my m in law's baptism record 15th July 1906 is Olive daughter of Thomas & Helen Webb. This is taken from West Walton records, on the borders of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
Any connections?

Hi

The Essex RO site isn't new. It's had its catalogue online for several years - but I'd never searched for the Bohemia Estate before.

I note that one of the Buckleys - Otley - is described as being the owner of a wooden bungalow on wheels . That building plan would really be worth seeing.

Must say, Devonshire isn't a name I've come across before. Does it belong to Essex?

Best wishes

hello sharon,
i have devonshires marrying into my webb line and they seem have been in eastwood for quite a few years (some use the surname of boscoe rather than devonshire, dont know if that name may mean more to you)
what did you put in to get the details for otley buckley, ? would definatley like to see that.
i did a search for caravans and tents to. some details appear which was surprising as i wasnt sure if it would register.  Cheesy

Hi all

If anyone has already obtained an original 1911 census page for their family at Bohemia Estate, there's a useful new facility now available at no extra cost  Smiley that shows you the surnames of the heads of household of all the other families living there. This was added at the end of last week.

To get this free info, you need to:

• Go to www.1911census.co.uk and register as usual

• Click on MY ACCOUNT at the top right of the page

• Click on MY RECORDS in the blue box on the left-hand side of the page

• You'll be presented with a list of all the pages you've viewed or downloaded to date.

• Click on the VIEW button beside any one.

• The image will appear with a number of new buttons above it. Click on the one labelled LIST.

• You'll then be presented with a a new image – a list of the surnames of the other heads of household who were neighbours living in the same street as your people.

It's very useful for finding out if your people were living in a tent or van on their own or living with other others in an encampment – and for the Bohemia/n Estate the LIST page shows there were 118 people living in 24 caravans and two tents by the surnames of:

Wayland
Wayland
Livermore
Osborne
Harriss (spelt like that)
Goody
Livermore
Smith
Smith
Buckley
Smith
Smith
Bukley (spelt like that)
Boswell
Draper
Taplin
Gray
Barr
Smith
Webb
Scarrott
Harriss
Bibby
Webb

Hope this helps!  Smiley

Best wishes

Sharon
