Nick...You said something in your final Whitby Video for Secret Stream that I didn't quite understand or agree with.
When you quickly mentioned The New Forest and Gypsy Families from there, you corrected mentioned - The Dow family, but also said The Cole family and mentioned Goliath Cole.
To my knowledge, the Coles had Nothing to do with The New Forest, but lived in and around Oakley, ie. to the west of Basingstoke: and Goliath Cole was born in Baughurst.

Yes it is suggested that his father was born in Lymington; but then Albert Doe was possibly born in Wiltshire...even if living in Bartley, Hampshire when collected from - The Travellers were called Travellers for a reason...They Travelled.

A minor point maybe.....However, I am looking forward to getting the book.
