Travelling People / Hamilton & Saunders 1900's SE UK
« on: Wednesday 06 January 16 15:57 GMT (UK) »
I am seeking the ancestors of my Grandmother Daphne Marguerite Hamilton.
Here is her birth certificate information:
Grandmother Daphne Marguerite -
Born 20th dec 1911
Location (and residence) 2 Hurlingham House, Blomfield Crescent
Registration district - Paddington
Mother - Marie Marguerite Hamilton formerly Saunders
Father - Reginald Hamilton, Occupation - Flannel Manufacturers Traveller
I have been unable to find the family on any census records at the given address nor any other address.
A cousin of mine recently told me that my Father was Romany. I am trying to verify or otherwise the truth of this. My Grandfather has mother maiden name Fenner, but it seems unlikely looking at the records that they were Romany.
My Grandmother however is something of a mystery, quite dark she looked "Jewish" I always thought and her origins had the air of being concealed.
If anyone know this family, glad of further information to help me solve the mystery.
Thank you.
