Joseph Mills b1826 (father of John b1854) was a Woodman.

Two of his sons Enock b1870 and Stephen b1872 were Ag Labs.

Hello groom and Giggsy,

Groom, Yes I think I 've posted too many names and Information to follow.

Giggsy, Thanks for your help, there are some interesting occupations but non of them shows a romany link.

I've found the Sister of Letitia Goddard my GGGG grandmother, Jemima Goddard a Shoebinder. Both of them are the daughters of William Goddard from West Ilsley and Mary Hitchman from Wantage . What was Williams Occupation? William was born c.1793 in West Ilsley Mary Hitchman c.1796 in Wantage , What were the names of their parents ? I don't think that they were Gypsies but it would be something new.


Regards

Jane
