Hi mkcmiller,
There were several traveller families living in houses in Brettenham Road, Edmonton, between 1909 and the 1960s. Between at least 1903 and 1913 there were a number of caravan dwellers interspersed among the houses and the neighbouring fields which were regarded as a frequently used unofficial site. The names of those who settled there, and in nearby Lawrence Road, include SMITH, BRINKLEY, TOPHAM, MILLS, LOVERIDGE, COOPER as well as one of my own great aunts who married a gorgio called BROWN.
For example, William and Eliza EASTON or EATSON, hawkers, lived at No.309 Brettenham Road in January 1912 but they had moved to No.9 by March of the same year.
In 1902 those who subsequently became part of the Brettenham Road travelling community had been evicted from another informal site a mile or so to the north-west on the land north of Cumberland Road and at the rear of St Mary's Gardens near St Mary's Road, Edmonton, where some of their relatives lived in houses from about 1903 to the 1960s.
In the 1901 census a few of the streets in the same area contained small groups of travellers who later settled in St Mary's Road.
I have seen just about all the relevant baptism registers, some of which are still with the incumbents, but if you wish to enquire about people listed on the electoral rolls for these streets you may wish to contact Graham Dalling (his details available online under his own name plus Enfield) or at the Local History Unit, Enfield Leisure Services, Town Hall, Green Lanes, London, N13 4XD
