I have been looking for a certain Wells man called Hezekiah Wells
I found him in census records in England : 1861 with his family in Chardstock Axeminster Dorset
( Eygptians - Gypsies)
Joseph Wells 40 b 1821 England
Eliza Wells 50 b 1811 England
Isiah Wells 18 b 1843
Jane Wells 14 b 1847
Gaius Wells 13 b 1848
HEZEKIAH WELLS 12 b 1849
Louisa Wells 8 b 1853
James Wells 6 b 1855
Albertina 4 b 1857
Joseph Wells 2 b 1859
Hester Wells 1 b 1860

In 1869 on ship Virginia 31st May from Liverpool to New York
I found a family of SMALL going across but also with them was Hezekiah Wells
James Small 50
Fanny Small 50
Louisa 19
Heziekiah Wells 19
Sophia Small 26
Riley 24
John 15
Joseph 13
elizabeth 13
child 9

Now what is interesting Fanny Small is actually Fanny Wells I am now pretty sure she is Joseph Wells sister
Hezekiah Wells family are still in England in 1871 Axeminster Dorset
Joseph Wells 51
Eliza 50
Angelina ( Albertina) 15
Emma 4
James 17
Joseph 12
Patience 7

For three years during the war our family lived in a flat above the Lee's in Ripley Rd,Custom House E16 while our fathers were away fighting,we suffered being bombed out while there and were very close friends
for many years after,but eventually lost touch with each other,I now wonder if they are around and maybe
some one knows of them?
Tom was the last time I heard an ambulance driver and had a wife called Glynn,Ellen's married name I
recall was Aldridge and used to live in or around Forest Gate.
They came from gypsy stock but I imagine not real followers of any of the traditions attached to this way of life!! not hopeful of any contact ,but one never knows ? Vic
