I have no official details other than the information on 1911 Census and the 1921 Census, which I cannot find now, but he was in Southampton at that time with his two younger daughters.
And, of course, my mother who told me both of her parents were born in the Southampton area

My maternal grandmother was very anti-Irish  ( my father was Irish) and said that her husbands her husbands father-in-law was an "Irish pig"

The irish ness would actually tie in with Esther Thompsons father from Goodford Clatford, Hampshire whose father was from Belfast

All very convoluted, i'm afraid

You mentioned the assault on Esther. Can you give me the link to that, please?

I understand that there was a lot of inter marriage in the travelling community and particularly among the Penfolds

 I have hit a solid brick wall with regards the mother of my grandfather Arthur Penfold.

He was born in Southampton c. 1875 to  Amos but I cannot find his mother though it could be Ethel who shows in the 1891 Census. It says she is about the same age but unknown as to birthplace

Arthur had two sisters Priscilla , born 1882 in Wiltshire but whose mother is listed as Esther and Patience born in 1891 in Brighton whose mother was Ethel.

I have no marriage certificate for Amos and his wife nor for Arthur and his wife Priscilla Thompson

Over the years there was a lot of inter marriage between Penfolds and so many have the same names!

Maybe I should just give up

Fingers crossed

Well, I made a mess of that.
I hadn't thought of her working there. Her three sisters were Red Cross nurses.
