Hi what a can of worms. Havd opened . Names appear nterchangable , I am thinking ( hoping ) cousins are marrying each other tho may be step siblings . It’s all rather confusing . It appears Christian names go backwards and forwards in family . But thank you for all the help . I think I will delegate back to my second cousin . I did manage to find her Romani roots verifying her 3 % Romany . Thanks all . Fred .

Thank you Smiley . I have just started on this for my second cousin so you have added meat to the bones . Do you know where the family originated from . My second cousin was always told there was a family that were travellers and I think we have started to get her tree sorted . Thank you . Fred .

Hi , I have found a new second cousin and we are working together . She was bought up being told her gt gt grandmother  Annie Alice nee Brinkley lived in a caravan and was from a travelling family .
My second cousin DNA on ancestry gives her 3  % Romani so it seems the family story has truth to it . I have now found a possible link to the family o. His son in law James Mill was a hawker and Charles a traveller on daughter's Annie's marriage cert .Dated Nov . 1891.
 have found a Charles Brinkley who I think is correct in the 1881 census . He and his wife are living in The Folly Caravan  .
There are a few James Mills and before go too far down the rabbit hole is there anyone who can give me some Romani history and where we go from here to have any proof and social history . The family appears to have settled in Edmonton London .
A witness name was Lydia Franklin I think née Welch . Thanks Fred .

Hi , I have found this old fishing book amongst the boxes . I do not know where it fits into the family history .. if some kind soul can decipher the word or name I might be able to work out its relevance . Thank you . Fred
