From Charlotte Yonge's 'An Old Woman's Outlook in a Hampshire Village' published in 1892: Last chapter titled 'December''
One genuine family was here some years ago, of thorough gipsy blood. A woman was very ill, and a kind gentleman let them remain in his field and sent broth and wine.
They were strictly honest, and even refused offers of help from other quarters, saying that they were fully provided for. The woman died, and they lamented her with loud cries
like Easterns. They talked of putting a stone up to her, but have never done so. Her name was Gerania.
Rev. Stephen Butler went among the Gypsey's on Soberton,Downes. There was a regular camp there and a family named Stanley did attend the Soberton, Anglican Church.
Rev Stephen Butler did Christen quite a few of the Gypsey children and one of the Stanely girls was named after one of the Butler girls. Her name was Maryanne Butler.

STOCKBRIDGE, Elizabeth about 23 years old. From her earliest rememberance she has travelled the country with an itinerant family calling themselves and her by the name of LOADER and believed herself their child until she was informed by them that they had stolen her from her parents as an infant. This declaration was preceded and followed by much ill treatment and at length. In Spring 1811 they contrived totally to desert her near Stockbridge in Hants whence she assumed her name. She shortly after wandered into this parish where she has been kindly received and shown herself worthy of it.
Letter to the Vicar of Thorpe in Surrey, from the Vicar of Frimley 6th June 1852
Dear Sir
There are several families of the Grangers in Frimley, who emigrate about this time of the year and live about in barns or otherwise. I cannot however, ascertain about John Granger's wife as there is no entry. Just at the age when likely to get into mischiel in the sort of life the families lead at this time of year, should she come in your way, and you could admit her to your Sunday school, you would confer a benefit on her and an obligation on myself. I remain, dear sir, yours faithfully, C. Stonehouse
