Title: Coster Boy
Post by: ChalmersB on Friday 26 October 18 11:35 BST (UK)

Hi,

I have quite a few Romani surnames in my family tree, but I still don't know a great deal.

The occupation of 'coster' and 'coster boy's comes up a few times. Is this the same as a Hawker and is it a known gypsy trade?

Thanks
