Travelling People / Gypsy Route, St Helens-Southport
« on: Sunday 23 June 13 06:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Hoping someone can tell me if Thatto Heath has a gypsy connection? I am trying to trace my great-grandparents who were visiting Thatto Heath in 1906 and were described as 'tramping the countryside...last seen heading for Southport'. They were seen at a pub in Rainford, perhaps looking for work?

Was there a known route between St Helens and Southport for travellers?

I don't know my ancestor's surnames, still trying to confirm a gypsy connection.

Thanks
