Thanks again Jeff! Hewler's farm is still there in Brains Green and I have been in touch over the years with the family who most recently lived there, although I believe it is now being sold. The Hewler family were not part of my ancestry as far as I know, I've mainly got Wood/Powell/Broben so far. Family legend has it that my ggrandmother - a daughter of William Wood who married Elizabeth Powell - was from a
gypsy family. This is supported by the result of my dna testing!
