Hi June I can see where your going with this,but it seem strange about the birth areas,and someone said that they may have changed their surname,they were from a gypsy background,but not all the name are there and they are different,the plot thickins,thanks

Terry Report 8 Oct 2009 21:37

Certainly looks like them June.
Well done.

Other children could have been anywhere that night and if they were gypsys was the census taker having a laugh calling them Pikey?
