Hi,

Thought I'd add a piece of the large Jig Saw puzzle in case someone might be interested in Nancy Hedges, daughter of Job Hedges and Phoebe Gumble.

Nancy married a Gypsy/Traveller Dives Flack in 1892 at Chelmsford (Essex) Registry Office.

Councellatta Flack daughter of Dives and Nancy married my great uncle Arthur Searles in 1924 at Little Leighs Essex parish church, Arthur was not a Gypsy/Traveller.

Regards.

Hi Emma 

Welcome to Rootschat!

Have you read through part 1 of this thread ...there is so much information 

Have you traced your nan's family back to James Hedges? Who are her parents and grandparents?

Where are you stuck? I hope we will be able to help you!

My great grand mother selina Cramfield (traveller) 1876 to 1934
My great grand father ELISA spencer (traveller) 1874

My great great grand mother Olivia hedges 1851 to 1892
My great great great grand father James hedges 1815
My great great great grand mother Eliza 1816

I can see loads of information on the previous pages

I am stuck on the spencer side big time I can only get back as far as William :-(

Do you know the death of James? I am off to the village of Aston abbotts tomorrow as I understand they settled in the village or am I wrong?

I am so new to the family tree research and love would love to find some family as we are very small and know nothing about our family history

Thanks once again x x

Hi Emma 

Nice to see you back! If you can give us a little more info we may be able to help!

Where was William Spencer (1850) born?
Do you have his children's names, DOB and POB?
What censuses do you have him and his family in?
Do you have Olivia's marriage certificate to William Spencer? If so who is his father and his occupation? who were the witnesses ...etc etc ...all info could be relevant.

I don't have any connection to the Hedges family ...It was a great search though!

William spencer was born Colchester essex
He married Olivia 2nd oct 1871 Romford Essex
I have the following censuses
1871 Chelmsford
1881 west Thurrock
The children are
ELISA 1874
William 1875
Henry 1876
Eliza 1878 to 1945
Mary a 1880

I think William ended up in tottenham London and was a licensed hawker all his life as was his child my great grand father ELISA.

I love the traveller life so would love to know more

Hi Emma

William b 1850 is proving hard to find.

I have found these two baptisms, one of which would confirm your William ending up in Tottenham by 1911.

Baptism:
Edmonton, Christ Church, Southgate, Middlesex
Born June 26th, 1878
Bapt 1 Sept 1878
Eliza Spencer, child of William and Olivia, Living in Romford Essex, William’s occupation: Basket Maker

A new child to add:
Hackney, Stoke Newington, St Matthias
2nd Jan 1887
Esher Spencer (could be Esther?) child of William  and Olivia Spencer, Barratt Grove, Occ: Licensed Hawker

Now that we have Esher/Esther this could be him in 1901:
Charlton, London
William Spencer, head, wid, 50 Oilcloth? Hawker b Barking Essex
Annie dau, 19  ………. Could she be Mary A?
Esther dau 13
Albert son 11

I will look more more
