Travelling People / Re: Traveller origins?

To get a better idea I suggest you locate the families in all censuses, and look at their addresses and occupations on these as well as on as several birth and marriage certificates.
One or two examples is probably not enough to make a judgement on whether they were travellers or not.
Thank you, Ruskie.
I will continue to compile as much information as I can before making the call.
Interestingly, since making this post in June, I have found possible reference to these ancestors in Bob Dawson's collections - the names and locations match. They don't appear to be Romany, but likely a travelling family of some variety. At the very least, a very mobile family.
Best,
