Rhyl pre world war 2 Vale Rd information re:gypsy site

[wilcoxon]

Is not easy, some of the house numbers  are  missing. 
There though a Flinn, and he seems to be at Caravan, Meadows, Vale Road. He is a printer.
Also at the Meadows,  Cuts are a couple named Wilson,  he is a general dealer and his wife is a hawker.
This is likely to be gypsy family I was told about.
So, it does look like a gypsy site was there, even if a small one.

I have the Boswell family on one of my trees, Lock/Smith/Boswell. In 1917 Harold Lock (who's Mother in Law was Carnation Raquel Boswell) was discharged from the Army as physically unfit. His address was 149 (Farmers) Vale Road Rhyl & he was a horse dealer. Many of the women of the family worked reading palms by the Pier & in the indoor market. The men worker as Carriers/Horsedealers/Horsebreakers/Scrap Metal Dealers. I don't know that there was a camp as such in Rhyl, they parked the vans in a field or hardstanding, anywhere they could. A lot of the addresses I have state 'Caravan in a field' then the area they have travelled to.
