Dear Slowhands
Yes if they were travellers I aggree that they would be hard to trace,also the name Preedy if the records I have of David Loveridge marrying Ellen Preedy very much ties in with what my last remaing uncle said that he thought they belonged to a travelling family but it sounds very much like it all ties in ,so with what has been passed on to me through the forum I hope to establish it all for certain .
Thanks Sheila
