Hi I have drawn a blank when it comes to researching my husbands side of the family further back than Phoebe Hedges born 1863 in Fernhurst Sussex. She was married I believe to Walter Lewis born 1859 in Leytonstone, Essex. At the time of the 1901 census they were in Thursley, Surrey living in a small group of travellers in caravans and tents. Lydia Lewis was my husbands Great Grandmother.

I am also finding it difficult to trace the Carey family links I have an Elias Carey born 1870 in Pitts Gate, Lamberhurst, Kent. He married  Matilda Eyres and then it seems Eliza Hedges. He was at one point in a caravan at Wisley, Surrey.
Elias was my husbands Great Grandad. They have been in the Woking area on and off since the 1850's at least.

Lastly on my side of the family my mothers Grandfather Harry Bragg born 1863 in Peckham, lived in Hampshire but mainly lived in Woking, he was the owner of the Kingfield Arms pub in Kingfield at the time of the 1901 census. Father to 9 youngest being my Grandmother Eva Myrtle born 1910. Some time ago we heard there could be a link to showmen.
 I would appreciate any info you may have.
Many thanks
