I don't have my copy of the Bletchley A and H Soc transcriptions of Bow, Little and Great Brickhill PRs to hand but from memory there are members of the travelling FLETCHER family mentioned at one of them. I'll check and get back to you.

Bletchley A and H Soc transcripts of Bow Brickhill show: Baptisms: 30 Dec 1821 Isabella dau John and Esther sojourner 18 Oct 1829 John son John and Esther sojourners In Little Brickhill: Baptisms: 13 Sep 1835 Sophia dau William and Mary travellers of Bullel, Northants 11 Feb 1838 Hannah dau William and Mary travellers of Bultel, Northants Marriages: 15 July 1834 William Fletcher Gypsy sojourner to Mary Loveridge OTP (Loveridge of course being another Gypsy family name) Burials: 25 Jan 1856 Lucy aged 4 (no other info so don't know who she belongs to) I haven't managed to work out where "Bullel/Bultel" Northants is but I'm researching the Gypsy families that camp on Brickhill Heath, and use Bow and Little Brickhill churches for baps, marriages and burials. Hannah bap 1838 above marries Elick Draper Tunbridge Reg Dist Dec Q 1860, the Drapers being another family that camp in the Brickhills. The marriages and burials below appear to relate to a settled Fletcher family. There are other baptisms and burials in the 16 and 1700s but none appear to be the travelling Fletchers. BB Marriages: 30 Sep 1727 George Fletcher and Ann Cowley 15 Jan 1743 George Fletcher and Mary Plummer BB Burials: Ann 1730/40 George 1760 Mary 1770 In Great Brickhill 1783 John Fletcher of Toddington marries Martha Summerfield Of course you should check the originals for yourself.
