Just located some material I couldn't find before, I doubt it will help this topic but I'll throw it in just for the record
As I stated previously Councellatta Flack,aka Councie, aka Connie, is my great aunt by marriage, she married my paternal grandmother's brother Arthur Searles, Concellatta is the daughter of Dives Flack and Nancy Hedges. Arthur Searles was not a Traveller or Romany, Councellatta was said to be a Romany.
Register Office, Chelmsford, Essex:-
23 Feb 1892 Dives FLACK 23 years bachelor hawker of Chelmsford son of Thomas Flack Horsedealer and Nancy HEDGES 21 years spinster of Chelmsford dau of Job Hedges, deceased, Hawker Wits: Edward Fewell and Mary Ann Fewell.
Hedges info obtained by me from the Public Trees on Ancestry.com
The parents of Nancy Hedges are Job Hedges a licensed Hawker (born 1843) and Phoebe Gumble (born 1841), they married in 1864 at Romford, Essex, Job & Phoebe said to be born in Bredhurst, Kent.
Their children:
Job born 1866 in Essex
Ruthie born 1867.
Caroline born 1868 in Romford, Essex.
Nancy born 1870 in Birmin, Kent. (baptised 25 Sep 1870 at West Fairleigh, Kent.)
Carry born 188?
Harriett born 1884.
James born 1888.
I'm very grateful for Councellatta marrying Arthur, that marriage adds a bit of colour to my almost colourless tree, the only other person to do so was an ancestor sibling who was the last man hung in Essex.
