Have finally broken a brick wall I thought I'd NEVER break. My great gran was a Romany gypsy, with no birth cert and no marriage cert. After putting a letter in the South Wales paper, a lovely lady has written to me, and asked me to phone her. My great gran was her great aunt...and shes told me my great grans parents names, with more info to come hopefully when I phone her at 6pm. Armed with the names she gave me, Ive today found them on the census, and am back to 1791. They had very unusual names, thankfully! Dont ever give up, and best wishes to you all. xxx
