Since we leave out our tts in Norfolk I am leaning towards Attleborough if Alburgh is ruled out-simply because the wife and child give Brooke as a birth place. I was looking for the birth of Margaret for clues without much luck-there is one in Suffolk. And I was musing on the possibility of these being Norfolk traveller Silletts-being as he was a rag collector and then pedlar. There is a Sillett from Pulham Market on the Gypsy basket makers in Leicester web site.
