Thanks for the illumination there Lindil, you have given me some interesting points to ponder. On further reading last night I found this: Appendix A(iii) says they
were
'...a secret and wandering people, and their deeds and labours were seldom sung or recorded. Little now is remembered of them since Elrond departed.'

Now they evidently do meet up regularly, and clearly have a fairly well organised society, so they can't simply wander around
Eriador.
But I pictured a travelling people,
like gypsies in many ways. I'm not sure whether this is what Tolkien had in mind, but from what he wrote, this could seem to be a possiblity too?
