It seems most likely that John was born near Welshbury Hill in Flaxley based on the census returns http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/691886
- its an area that does have Gypsy connections - in a previous note I mentioned the nearby spring at St Antonys Well http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=20511
However many non Gypsy families come from this area too

Elizabeth ? appears to be from Redbrook.
