Have you checked the 1911 census for his occupation - he is shown as living in Chertsey Surrey

1901 shows him as a grocers assistant

1901 he is a grocers assistant living in Woolpit

www.1901censusonline.com

1911 is only available on a pay per view basis but there is a free index.  However - it only shows names, age and residence - not occupations etc

Maria 42 b Southwold
Henry 19
Elizabeth 15
Alfred 13
Herbert 7
Charlotte 15 niece

Nothing to suggest the family were gypsies

But when herbert was older he was recorded in chertsey like you sed, i also know of him living in kingston, willesden, london, bury st edmunds, norfolk, and around places in suffolk, and around surrey, and london, and alot more places i cant remember where my nan said, but this suggests he travelled alot?

The fact that he lived in several areas does not make him a gypsy

He may have gone to live in areas where there was more work to enable him to feed his family (or possibly to avoid paying debts?)

One of my ancestors was born and married in Liverpool but had children in Wolverhampton, Shropshire and  Manchester.  he was a bricklayer so went were the work was

yes i know that, but along with family information that has been said about him being a traveller, so ive come on here to find stuff out, but these things are not always right, there could have been no evidence at all they were gypsies but still could be, also its hard to find as it is after 1891 so i dont know how to find out at all... but i want to find out where the gypsy buisness has come from x
