Hi,
I've just discovered a branch of my Tovey family who moved from Winchcombe to London, married into what I believe may be a travelling/romany family:
Alice Maud Tovey b 1884 Winchcombe married Harry T Burden in Islington 1911. I believe they had at least one daughter Irene L M Burden in 1913.
Harry T Burden was born 1887 Walworth Surrey and is the son of Daniel BURDEN b 1863 and Ellen KALAHER/CALAHER b 1863. Daniel and Ellen married St Olave Southwark 1882. Daniel is variously described as a 'Hawker/Gen Dealer'.
Ellen is the daughter of Wm and Julia CALAHER.... I understand this surname has various spellings and that with a 'K' denotes English spelling whereas with a 'C' may indicate the family is Irish. I have found both in regard to Ellen...
Daniel the son of Henry and Caroline.....father in 1871 'Hawker'. In 1871, the whole family is stated as having been born in 'Newington' - presumably Newington, Southwark, Surrey. That happens to be where they are living in 1871, so might not be 100% accurate.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with links to Harry T Burden.
