Casual work in the laundry trade and working as an ostler or similar are such commonplace occupations I think it would be hard to say there was any connection to travellers etc from that alone, but can't be ruled out I suppose. I have many of both in my tree, but haven't found any travelling family as yet!

Her spouse is born in Hammersmith. Possibly his barracks were in Kent which may explain the move?
Is that the next generation forward? The husband of a daughter of John Innell and Louisa Mary Powell? People moved a lot, usually for work or to be near relations or whatever, just like today.

Are you referring to Arthur Kemp b 14 Apr 1867? I'm guessing, just because I see he and his wife are in Kent in 1939!
