Williams?
« on: Friday 27 July 07 07:53 BST (UK) »
Hi , I am searching for any info on Leonard Williams ,d,o,b 1881 d,o,d november 1930 & wed at Battersea 1900.Trying to find any info he may use another first nav! but is a Traveller with true Rom connections by marriage.
I know he spent most of his time in or around London but does connect with Rom from Mitchamcommon.
Any help would be great!

Think I found him:

NorthWest Battersea, 1901

Either Gurlings Yard of Gunlings Yard

Leonard Williams Head of House, 19, married, Hawker born Kilburn.
Sarah Ann Williams wife 19 married, born Mitcham Sy

They are with several other Romany families who may well be related so Ill list them here:


Henry Williams Head 30 married, Hawker born Croydon
Annie Williams Wife 29 married born Tunbridge Wells
Frederick Williams visitor 3 born Southfields Lancs
\\
Charles Williams Head 70 married Hawker born Andover Hants
Elizabeth Williams Wife 43 married born Norwood
Lucane? Williams daughter  15 born Willesden
Patience Williams daughter 5 born Wandsworth

They are camped with several families of the Penfold name.

No. Looked for Henry Charles and Leonard seperately and couldnt find any of them. Many Romanies managed to miss census's though, so its not uncommon, and by the likelihood, they were still travelling together since none seem to be around.

Sorry bout that, if Id have found them, would have included them.
