Mine are mostly Clapham, Battersea & then moved to Fulham & their surname is Lee..... I might also have a Buckland in my tree & according to the census she was from Windsor.......I haven't been able to prove she is the right lady cos i can't find births for the children but i am 99% sure it's the right family cos of 1 of the girls names, like you say they carry names down & my Nan's Sister had this name for her middle 1

There are 2 on line sites which I have found very useful in tracing my DIL Romany family

"Romany Genes" and "Romany jib"

Lots of Bucklands and Smiths - once you are sure of the line you need to follow :-)

The birth certificate will only give the address wherethe child was born.
Have you looked for the mother on the census beforethe birth date?

Yea, but I'm concerned iv found the wrong person.

The girl who i found all the details seemed to match but the only inconsistency was the place of birth. could the census have got it wrong?? or cos of the fact the girl was a servant the head of the house she was working in may have got her birthplace wrong?
Also the family that she was a servant for are meant to have been Jewish but they don't have a particularly jewish name.
I also contacted a direct descendant of her of the family to ask a few questions but they haven't replied which is a shame.

Thankyou Elizabeth and Quoy, ill defo take a look ad keep yoou updated! :)

Hollie
I used to go to college 10years or so ago with a chap called Ted Rudge who is quite an expert on Romany gypsies.
If you Google Ted Rudge, Romany gypsies it brings up several options including a site that you can join & books that Ted has written.
Sorry, don't have any other info but I'msure Ted will be pleased to hear from you.
Hope this is useful
