Leah Biggs family sounds interesting to follow too. I believe that her father John Biggs married Sarah Groom in Sept 1873 in Dudley ref 6c 78. This looks like them (Living in a caravan) in 1881 with Leah mis-transcribed as Sarah. John is listed as a Wheelwright - http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/75...l=ReturnRecord

By 1891 the whole family appear to have changed their names to Hayes (still living a caravan) and John is now a travelling showman - http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/65...l=ReturnRecord
