 Just been looking at this site as I lived most of my life in Leeds and was looking at photos of Winker Green and somebody was commenting on travellers and people living in tents and mentioning the names of different families living there.  http://www.leodis.net

Travelling People / Are they gypsies?
« on: Monday 25 February 08 11:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I've traced my family tree on my mother's side back to 1777 and on all the census returns say they were either Cutlers, Tinplate workers, Tinners, Hawkers or Pedlars. On my grandfather and grandmother's death certificates it says they were licensed hawkers my grandfather was called Harry Hunter and my grandmother was called Esther Ann Banks. Does this mean they were gypsies?
