Hey there. Was wondering if anyone can help me. I know little about my father or his family except that his and his fathers occupations were "Hawker". My father was a jack of all trades and both him and my grandfather always travelled around looking for work as well as collecting scrap and rags. They were Hutchison's and there families were the McCourts, Chalmers and Cairns' from Ireland. Do any of you think they could have been Travellers/Gypsies? Any help would be much appreciated!
