evening all.
i have made previous requests for info on this person but have had no luck as of yet so am trying once again in hope someone might have come accross something on him.
he was aparently born 1874, and is listed on the old 1910 gypsy lore history tree as son of santalina and henrietta (anneretta) buckley nee boswell, who supposedly had 20+ children (according to newspaper reports on her death) so he comes from a large well known gypsy/travelling family. (santalina being a son of joiner & seni buckley and henrietta beign a daughter of levi & mary-ann boswell nee lee) so good romany gypsy breeding lines
i have his marriage details in 1908 rayleigh essex and have info of his wife Ada and children etc but its before he was married that has caused trouble like you wouldnt believe.
i also dont have them in 1911 census although i know my nan (one of his daughters) was born in rochford essex in 1918 and her older siblings also in 1908/1911/ rochford essex and one in kent 1910 so they were definatley all still living and breeding
but i cannot find them anywhere.
oti's siblings included peron buckley, carnation buckley, adalaide buckley, plus more ( i have 12 in total, not the whole 20+ although am still searching for them too
)
I have found census for sant & henrietta with some of their other children but none with oti living with them.
oti seems to be a middle-ish child, if you can say of 1 of 20+ as it seems they started with peron in 1857. i have tried searching for them in surname of buckley and smith as sometimes buckelys have used this as an alias i have also tried buckland as a viriant, no luck. also tried with boswell in case he used his wifes maiden name. again nothing.
i do have his marriage and death, and his wifes death. i also have him listed on is childrens marriage certificates, so he is a "real" person although i was starting to doubt this lol
his wife possibly lied about her age when marrying him and he definatley lied about his, as he was much older than her. wondered if its possible he may have had a first wife, although marrige cert to ada does not state this at all. also wondered if he was in war records but found nothing. HELP!!
can any one shed some light please. have no idea as to where else to search.
Would really appriciate some genuine help or info on this shifty little so-an-so
thanks all.
