Thank you Jane  ;) for the tip about articles regarding Romanies on Mitcham Common.  Fascinating reading and some good photos.

There are several Harriet Cooper's listed and I'm not having much luck finding the right one.  Likewise with James Green.  I'm refuse to give up though and hope to report back favourably sometime.

I was wondering if Leander was born in such a tent!
Keep digging,

Jane

Leander is not an unusual name amongst gypsies. Leander Hearne and Leander Green may not be the same one.

Hello Alison - Leander Green was my great-grandmother and she was born Linda Gladwin - in a tent on Mitcham Common. Green was her married name - James Green. She left him after the birth of their daughter, Unity. She then lived as a lodger with Alfred Thorpe and had many children with him. They eventually married in 1947.
