If you google gypsy +names , you'll see a site Was your ancestor a Gypsy? Thats got most of the names and I'm afraid Penney isn't one. Also links to the journal Romany Routes, published quarterly by the Romany & Traveller Family History Society.

Mine are Lee, Smith, Street, Buckley, Boswell, Heron, Herne. If you go on the Romany and Traveller family history site, it will tell you a lot more. http://website(.)lineone(.)net/~rtfhs/contents(.)html Good Luck - with gypsies you need it! Sandra
