Census records living in Barns
« on: Saturday 05 February 22 11:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
Came across census records for Both of my GG Grans brothers their Surname was Mason they married my Clarkes who were Romany im not sure if Mason is a Traveller surname ? Whist searching i found both Brothers listed as living in a barn one in Worcs the other Berkshire ive worked out they were both obviously either on hard times or maybe part of a bigger group living in the barns maybe other Traveller families or just on their own ? Has anyone else come across this on their searches of their Traveller ancestry also is there anyway of finding out if their were others in the barns recorded on a census? Any help is much appreciated Dunc
