I have WRAY's and SLADEN's who were boat people on the canals.  Although I have (seperate) gypsy ancestry, it never occured to me that some people would also think of boat people as travellers or gypsies, although I very much like that idea!  If anyone else has Wray's or Sladen's I'd love to hear from you. Mine were in the Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire areas.
