Travelling People / Rebecca james 1860 hampshire

« on: Saturday 19 May 18 10:28 BST (UK) »

I am trying to find out about my 3rd great aunt Rebecca James who was born we think in 1860 aldershot hampshire and baptised in 1860 surrey. Her parents were john james and louisa ayres . We have her on the 1891 census and we have a record of her baptism but that is all . We have a lot of information about her siblings marriages and children and her parents but not much about her . I am hoping that someone else maybe has any information about her

Travelling People / Street family

« on: Wednesday 28 February 18 16:32 GMT (UK) »

I am just wondering how to work out whether someone is romany or not !! I have lots of people in my family tree and it's obvious that they are romany because of their occupation, forenames/surnames , family connections and where they lived but i have a family whose surname is street . My great great grandad was henry parker and he married mary street . Marys dad was soloman street and i can find them on the cencus living at one point on the common but as labourers. So how do i work out if they were romany or not ? Any advice would be much appreciated

Mousey cooper and chicken george lol we have done quite abit of reseach into our tree and we are related to the coopers so maybe mousey was a relative ? I know we had smith relations in mitcham rocky . Im looking for anyone who knew this family as they might know some stuff we dont.

Travelling People / Holmes family 1871

« on: Monday 11 September 17 20:31 BST (UK) »

James Holmes and Harriet ( don't know surname ? He was born abt 1819 Kent and she was born abt 1836 Surrey.
Their kids were marella b 1854
Thomas .s. 1850
Hezekiah 1865
Bendigo 1869
Christiana 1871 - 1875
They were all born around Kent and Surrey. They are found all together on the 1871 census . Marella and William miley and their kids are on the 1891 and 1901 census at court farm in warlingham . I know nothing about James Holmes parents or harriets. This information is all I have !!! There is another thread on this site started by jtoot my dad !!!! It was posted before 2010 and I'm hoping that someone has started researching their family and has some information about them for me !!!
I think my dad may have thought they were smiths or lees and lied on the census about being Holmes but how would we know !!! If anyone has any ideas pls reply I'd love to find out more !!!!

Travelling People / Sands family

« on: Thursday 31 August 17 01:17 BST (UK) »

I have been looking into my dad's side of the family and his dad's parents were both Romany. We've recently found out his mum's dad's family were Romany as well so that just leaves his gran who was a sands - there is a rumour that they were circus people but we can't find anything about that and I'm wondering if they could of been Romany but left the lifestyle so I'm just wondering if anyone know of a Romany sands family or if that is a Romany surname ?!

Travelling People / Henry ayres and olive james

« on: Sunday 02 October 16 12:53 BST (UK) »

My 3 x great granny was louisa james and she was married to John james. Louisas parents were henry ayres and olive james .
Between them the have at least 9 children : henry b1846
William b1857
Alice b1847
Joseph b1844
MaryAnn b1837
Lawrence b1836
Deana b 1834
Olive b

??
I am pretty sure this is the right family because it was researched over 5 years ago by my sister and dad and this tree also has the miley family marry into the ayres family. I'm really unsure how to go any further and am wondering if the daughter olive could possibly be louisa .maybe louisa first name was olive ...........I think my brain is about to explode
If anyone has these people in their tree or just has some information that would be much appreciated
