Rita!!  I have a photo of Mariah Pettigrove, got it tonight.      Also in touch with Mariah's sister Druscilla's grandson Lenny. But I think you are?   Mariah's granddaughter may like to hear from you if youre interested.  I cant put her name on but she lives in Oxford. Mariah's son in law is still alive, hes 83.  The Emmetts in the tree connected to this family were married into the Lees - so I think its the same people. PS, Have added you on Facebook.  On my photos see the last page of 'old photos', theres Mariah.

Hi Appletree

This could be them in the 1891 census at Mitcham in Surrey

John HALDEN head mar 28 cutler b.Ramsgate Kent
Priscilla wife 25 b.Chatham Kent
Emily dau 5 b.Greenwich Kent
John son 3 b.Dulwich Surrey
Bella dau 7m b.Packham Wood Kent

RG12/601 folio 14 page 37
......................

This family appear to be on the 1911 census (YEALDING in Croydon) but you will need to pay to see the details http://www.1911census.co.uk/

Do you have a copy of John and Priscilla's marriage to give, hopefully, the names and occupations of their respective fathers?

Many of the YELDINGs (and variants) later became HILDENs - they sound very similar with a silent "H" and there were YELDINGs in/from Kent (now HILDENs) who were travellers (not showmen).  I think your mum is right - mention the name HILDEN to any Kentish travelling family and they will recognise it

I think there was also  Mark, Maurice, Alf, Frances, James and Pauline

There were three ROSSITER/SMITH couples in the Ashford area at that time and I think these children belong to the three of them - not all Alfred & Alicia who married 25 Oct 1919 Ashford.  Alfred was baptised 22 Dec 1888 Sittingbourne although he was born in Gravesend to James ROSSITER and Susan Emma (nee BUTCHER).

Was there an alfred following this date. My dad was born around 20's/30's - he had a sister called pauline and they lived in kent - seems suspicious - oh and their parents were gypsys - can anyone answer any of my questions?

Hi Mdeeming

Welcome to Rootschat

If you go to http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl and enter ROSSITER as the name with mother's maiden name as SMITH you will find a birth entry or two which may be the one(s) you are looking for.

Do you know when/where he died to try and match the age/date of birth given at death with the correct birth entry?
