	Note that Traveller could also mean Travelling Salesman, a very common occupation ......... ........I don't believe Traveller was used back then for gypsies.

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 547 Send Message	Hi, On a marriage cert, (on Ancestry) Bride Christiana HASTINGS, Bridegroom William BELL Sept 1858 in Taunton. The father of the bride is Frederick Hastings, Traveller.?? Could someone check that info correct please. William died and Christiana married again in Newcastle to a William Carr LILBURN, Dec 1870 under the name Christiana Hastings BELL. But her father is listed as a CHARLES.?? I have sent for the 2nd wedding cert today as I can't see the cert, just the info. on Ancestry. If Frederick was a traveller are there any good sites to find info.? Thank you Sally
