oh glad you are about, I've been working my way through the return for Thornton Dale and I've literally just come across an entry for the following:
Ann Wilson wife aged 30 married 13 yrs, 6 children born alive, 5 living 1 dead Occ Hawker b selby Yorks.
Christiana 12 b durham darlington
Charles 9 b Richmond
John 7 born york
walter 3 born york
mabel 1 born york

Address:
Caravan, Maltongate Thornton Dale, Pickering!!!!
No husband recorded tho!

[suna]

There certainly seems to be alot of similarities, a child born in Richmond in 1902, Grace was born there in 1903, the gypsy caravan and a daughter mabel, just ages are wrong for mabel and there is no Jack or grace, yet ann wilson is recorded as married, he wasn't enumerated in Thornton Dale in 1911 at all, I have checked all 3 districts,
