Hi Beverly,
Thanks for the info. You have given me something to work on. I know somewhere along the line their are connections with Upton. Belverdere ( or Sheppy ) seems to be connected also. all new to me. got the Index volume 3 and 4. it means absolutely nothing to me?????? l expect this is something to do with records ? need to study this a bit more or l wont get very far. anyway thanks for taking the trouble. Good luck with your searches. Tricia
I am a descendant of Richard Lock & Mary Eldridge m. 1698 in Ampney Crucis, Gloucestershire. At least I am pretty sure they are my USA immigrants anyway lol. Always looking for my Lock(e) cousins :)
DNA testing confirms I am a 65/67 DNA match to Henry Lock's lineage of South Cerney, Gloucestershire 1770's, so some how Henry Lock is related to my Richard Lock, but not sure how yet.

tricia
hi Paul, just come across this site through the romany and travellers family history site and was very interested in your photos. Much to my surprise l see you have my ( w ell not now of course ) old vickers special. i have some very interesting stories about it if you are interested.
Tricia
Sincere apologies Rebekah for not putting your pictures on the site yet - but I've been ill for the past 8 weeks and am very behind with everything - including the next journal. I think I'm on the mend now, so will try to get my act together and catch up a.s.a.p. Best wishes Mary
Hi all, will the Stow fair pages be updated? It'll be time for the Oct one soon! Ive emailed you Stow photos from May.
Hello to All,
This site is such a blessing to all of us trying to figure out our Romany roots. My grandfather was a Bailey (Baillie it was spelled when they first came to America from Scotland, I am told) from South Carolina in the USA. The family claims to know little about them, but my genealogy research is turning up probable Romany roots on all sides. Would love to hear from any Rom Baileys/Baillies, and, of course, any potential relatives.
Hi Beverley, I have just shown my Dad your photos, 'Bill Arnold' (Annie Pickett's son) and he is more than happy for me to show you some pictures. The quality of them is not always that good but I have a further picture of Amy Pickett and her husband John. My Uncle Dick should have further pictures which i may gradually be able to retrieve. My email is billy.arnold@ntlworld.com. Send me your email and I can scan the photos and send them to you gradually ! Your photos brought back many happy memories to my dad by the way ! Billy
Hello Billy,glad you like the pictures of the Pickett family,your granny was my grandads sister and i know my uncle jocker and mum lemmy have always spoken very lovingly of aunt Annie.Infact when i was achild i remember having tea with your gran one sunday...we had homemade pork pie with salad that i helped her pick fresh from the garden and the cucumber from the greenhouse also the 2 chickens Clara and Henrietta running around.Have you got any photos?all the best Beverley
Just come across this website and have found a picture of my great grandmother (Amy Pickett) through Beverley Cherry photos. I am Annie Pickett's grandson. Fascinating, because this is the clearest picture of the Picketts I have seen.
Hi Rebekah, I will ask my cousin Charlie as I am sure I have heard him recite it, or something similar. I will let you know.
Does anyone know the gypsy rhyme that begins: 'Do you rokker Romany, can you chin the.....' I cant remember anymore! My cousin Rosemary used to say it over the phone to me, I'd love to have the whole rhyme again. I know its an old one.
hi mary sorry to hear you have not been well,hope you are on the mend ,beverley x
hi mary sorry to hear you have not been well ,hope you are recovering take care beverley x
Sorry to hear that Mary, I looked out for you. It was sooo muddy, I'll send my pics in today.
Apologies to everyone I promised to meet at Stow, didn't make it due to ill health - so if any of you took photos please don't forget to send them in.
Many thanks Mary
Ive heard of Barbara, but not been in contact. Id die to see Ripley photos! And Genty Ripleys great grandson Ian would be interested too. If you're going to Stow it'd be lovely to say hi!
If anyone has gypsies by the name of Heaven (Birmingham area?) namely a George Heaven born 1890 who had a daughter Ivy Irene in 1911, there is a lady named Angela who would love to know more.
Hi Rebecca - Happy to forward your Email address and I hope something comes of it for you. You probably know I was one of the founder members of the RTFHS many years ago, and I remember a few people were tracing the Ripleys, I believe Barbara Walsh was one of them and she sent me some pictures of her relations, Mark Ripley comes to mind. Have you been in touch with Barbara - if not I can give you her details? Hopefully I'll make it to Stow, have got a few friends who want to come with me as usual, but got some health problems at the moment so I'll see nearer the time. I say that every year, but the nearer it gets the more I get itchy feet and always end up going!!!! We'll have to arrange to meet up! Best wishes Mary
Just joined the RTFHS, really handy for anyone doing their tree. Mary, if a Sid Ripley asks you for my email addi, can u give it him please. I was on Roma ny Roots and he shares my Ripleys (we think) but they wont let me put my email address on the board. I told him to come on here. Not long til Stow! xx
thanks for your nice comment rita,hope you are keeping well.i look forward to recieving your charlies poem.take care beverleyx
Thats ok Mary, thankyou so much for making your enquiries! My husband swears Im related to every gypsy in Britain lol. This tree is never ending!!
Hi beverley.
Thank you so much for the lovely poem, I have laminated it and put it on the wall, I will send you Charlies poem laminated to do with it what you will
Thanks again Rita x
Sorry - Rebekah - I've spoken to Tony Coleman and he can't help with the names you mention - hopefully somebody else looking at these pages might.
Hi Rebekah,
I haven't seen Carol Hoskins for quite a long time now, I don't know if I can contact her but I'll try. There are quite a few Hoskins down here in Hereford, I don't know where they originated from but Tony Coleman is certainly related to them, so I'll give him a ring over the weekend and see if I can find out any info for you. Mary
A lady called CAROL HOSKINS has posted on one of your pages, I have Hoskins Romany's on my tree. Theyre from Wales, would there be a link? Theyre closely related to my distant cousin Rosemary, who lives in Newport. The forenames included Nelson, Soloman, Gilda, Coralena, Patience, etc etc. Edie, still havent heard back from you, can u tell me how you're related to my great great gran?
hi there my name is emily my mams maiden name is williamson i was adopted at birth and i know my mams dads family are scottish travellers as i no

Thats mainly all i no my mams dad was called henry and is now living down south also he had brothers and sisters who are still up there. I was wondering can u help me at all with any of this as i would like contact with my blood family
Thanks very much - Emily-louise
Message for W. BARR (nee Bridges)
Please contact me at mhorner022@aol.com - my mother was Joyce Bridges, daughter of Jim Bridges, son of James and Caroline and I have been searching for other descendents of the family for nearly 20 years, so I was delighted to see your message. I have a lot of information on the Bridges family, especially Hereford newspaper accounts of the inquest into Caroline's suspicious death and would be very happy to share it with you. I hope to hear from you soon. All best wishes - Mary
Hi, I've just come across your site by accident and was amazed to read about the Hearn family.
I noticedthat one of your contributers wrote about her mother Joyce Bridges. She states that Joyce was the daughter of Jim Bridges and Caroline Vaughan.
My grandfather was George Bridges the son of James W Bridges c1870 from Ledbury and Caroline Vaughan c1874 St James Hereford. There were other children James c1896, Emily c1897, Tom c1901 and my grandfather George 1902. we have been unable to find out very much as George and Emily were put intoa children's home -we were told that Caroline had died in childbirth and that James couldn't cope and had travelled the county as a Hawker.
He did turn up many years later when my grandfather was a young man living in Hereford and later when the family had moved to Blaina and then Birmingham.
I wonder if Joyce could have been a younger child that we knew nothing about?
hi mary thanks for starting the ashtree lane chatham page,look forward to hopefully seeing more in the future .
Edie, sorry but Ive had major pc trouble and lost most of my emails. How are you related to Mary Ann Clark? On the 1881 census she is alone with her younger siblings in a tent on Sussex downs; have you found her parents or do you think they were orphaned? I have her parents on the 1871.
Hi - My name is Jack Pearce and I have a question for a Sue Pearce who posted a question on the "Where are they now page" Are your Pearce family romanychal too? My great great grandfather got married to a Lucy Jeffery either here in America or while still in England but no one here knows for sure. I am kinda hoping maybe you could help me out with any information you might have. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Thanls Zena but I have now contacted Rebeckah as she has her own web page on Tribal and kindly gave me acess to her family so its all sorted thanks again.
P.S. - We'd be thrilled to see any photos too!!!!
Thank you ZENA - this is just what we hoped this Guestbook would be used for. The more we can help each other the better! Kushti bok Mary
Mary, Rebekah cant get online at the min her laptop is in for repair. Anyway she asked me to put that shes found more gypsy rellies for her tree, the Smith family from Tysoe, Warwickshire.. They also had kids born in Horley (Oxfordshire) and Byfield etc. Many had typical gypsy names, Comfort, Absalam, Jabeth, Anslow, Honor, Wisdom, etc. Im the person who posted the other day about the CLARK family of Sussex. If anyone has any photos she'd be so thrilled to see them.
Thanks Zena I will email the lady many thanks.
IMPORTANT FOR EDIE: Its not me doing my family tree but my friend, its so intresting. Yes she has a Mary Ann Clark or Clarke born in Sussex and I think its 1864. She d LOVE to hear from you, shes posted on hear before. Can u email her at rebekahm28@aol.com please. I think shes found Mary ann as a child and has got some certificates.
Zena.
hi mary,hope you are well.just been reading all the lovely comments on guestbook...keep up the good work luv beverley ps regards to rita xx
Zena I have a Mary Ann Clark b 1864 she is b Sussex any relation?
How lovely ZENA - many thanks! I'm sorry I've been slow putting more stories on the site, I have lots more planned to go on - but I also compile the journals, answer all the letters and Emails, have a lot of family commitments - and am waiting any day for the birth of my first great-grandson, so it doesn't leave much spare time! I took Journal 6 to the printer yesterday, that's a big job done, so hopefully now I'll get a bit of spare time to get round to the site! Don't forget you can always add some stories of your own - as I tell everyone, the journals and the site will only be as good as the contributions we receive. Have you got a story to tell ? You can always Email me, we'd love to hear from you.! Many of us connected with Romany Road have been friends for a very long time and think of each other as family, that's why it works so well and we have such lovely times when we get together! God bless and thanks - Mary
Congrats on having the friendliest Romany site online! I love the ghost stories, I keep looking to see if theres anymore on! Im not doing my ancestry but my friend is, she has Clark's from Buxted and Guestling in Sussex in the 1870s/1880s.
Hi Selina,
Good to hear from you again, hope you're well - if anyone contacts me I'll get back to you straight away
Kushti bok - Mary
hello mary and everyone else
i would be very interested if anyone knows anything about the pratley family from newport wales
alfred pratley, christina pratley and edwin? they can be found in the 1901 census. alfred was a dealer in china& glass. christina is my great granddads
john irelands sister. i would dearly love to find edwin? . the pratley family are related to the scarrott family as alfreds mother was kezia scarrott. i believe alfreds sister sarah married John Scarrott Aka Jack " The man who made boxing champions" any information would be great regards selinaxxx
PS: I should have said apart from Mary's book and photos!
LINDA - Sorry I cant help but my great grandad was also a bare knuckle fighter and boxing trainer from Glamorgan, his name was Percy Price, or known as Bush Price, born c1890. He died in WW2, 1941. There doesnt seem to be any photos of bare knuckle fighters in Wales, I thought there'd be at least something.
Thank you for your kind comments Linda. We have a small publication for sale about bare-knuckle fighters in South Wales (see first page on Website). I've had a very quick look through and I can't see anything relating to your grandfather, but it describes many of the fighters and the fights they had. I took the stories from very descriptive newspapers reports of the time, and very many of the tough Welsh fighters are mentioned.
What a fascinating site. I came to it as I was trying to find information about my Grandfather Owen Jones who was a bare knuckle fighter. Is there anyone out there that has any memories or stories about fights he may have had. He was born in Glamorgan, Wales. Thanks.
Message for Cathay Birch:- Not making any promises Cathay, but in Journal 5 that I will sending you - Susie Martin has put a photo of her great-grandmother Edith Birch, daughter of a Henry Birch b.1849, asking if anyone is connected to this family. I have sent more details to your Email address - but what a lovely welcoming present if her Henry and yours were one and the same person!!!
Welcome to Romany Road Cathay, I'll put the journal in the post to you on Monday morning, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Any contributions you want to make to future issues will be more than welcome and I hope we can make some connections for you with your family. We've got a great crowd joined us now, so we hope to go on to bigger and better things. I don't put huge amounts on the site because we want people to join, so you'll see lots of different stories and photos in the journals that I hope you'll find really interesting. Kushti bok - Mary

Sorry to disappoint you Tilly - but Carol is a member of Romany Road and she ordered her T-towel separately from our shop. The T-towels are lovely and are selling like hot cakes - so why not think about buying one - everyone seems to love them!
Are the T Towels free then?
Many thanks for the recent journal. It made very good reading with many interesting and exciting photographs. Can you please send a green Romany Road T-towel to my mother. Kind regards - Carol
Thank you for the journal - it's great. Betty
Thank you for joining Romany Road Sheila and a big welcome to you and all Scottish Travellers. Perhaps you'll treat us to a story or two one of these days?
Hello there, My name is Sheila Stewart. I just got the magazine Romany Road. It's a great wee magazine. I am a Scottish traveller from Perthshire in Scotland. I hope Scottish travellers are welcome! I am a traditional singer, and storyteller. I am one of the 'Stewart's of Blair'. I dont suppose you have ever heard of us. I am the last one left in my line to carry on the tradition, and have done for 54 years. I miss no getting a good chin wag with proper travellers.
Sheila
Many thanks for another marvellous Romany Road. It came yesterday and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely to see a picture of Vanslow Smith and to read a couple of his little stories, and to see one of Bob Lovell, too. Among many other lovely stories I enjoyed I must mention Gary Small's.
Ruth McDonald - Australia
Romany Road, may I just say that I am so overwhelmed with all the lovely pictures and stories in the journals, they have taken me take and made me remember so much about my family.
I cannot thank you all enough and will be making sure I never miss another journal, thanks again to you all. Henry Light
Hey you guys
what a treat to read a complete magazine of Gypsy/Traveller snippets. Being scattered as we are and not having many other Travellers to talk to and read about it's a delight to sit down, cup of tea in hand and finger the pages of how it used to be-different world. If my parents Jeannie and Charlie Riley were alive they'd love this too,
big thanks you are on the right track
jess
Dear 'Computer rani' what a lovely comment. Bev, I cannot believe you were so near and yet so close to my family !
It really gets you going doesn't it when other people remember the old times with such enthusiasm (had to dick in the dictionary to spell that ....ha ha)
We really have to make a point of meeting up and have a proper get together, it will be great Bev, love to you and your lovely mum
Rita x
Thanks Bev - what a small world eh? To think we've known each other all this time, then I meet up with the Rita and it's like I've known her all my life too. I can't weait for you two to meet - you'll love her! Then to find that your family and hers go back such a long way - really lovely. Not only is Chrissy a wonderful singer, apparently his meat puds take some beating too!! You couldn't meet a nicer person than Amy, I can just imagine the stories between her and your Mum Lemmy, so when we all get together in the better weather - as we will - I'll be sure to take a recorder because some of those stories will be priceless!!!
Love Mary x
HI Mary, love the latest journal cannot wait for the next one.It was lovely to read Amys story,Ive just read it to my mum over the phone.As I told you mums family used to go hopping and meet up every year at Paley Farm in Staplehurst Kent and one of the families she has always spoken well of is Aunt Lenda and Uncle Bill Smith and their children Amy,Rosie,Bluey,Alan,Georgie,Joey,Benny,Dustman.My Granny and Grandad and family looked forward to to meeting up and would stay in the same sets together sharing and caring and enjoying life as they did back then,Mum recalls Uncle Ben as being the best hedgehog (ketcher) and would walk along with a stick tapping and there out would come an otchie,he also used to show the childen as well.They all used go to the Knock for a skimmish when they had their free time,Mums family were Jack and Martha Pickett of Ash Tree Lane Darland Banks Chatham Kent ,their children were Polly,Lily,Amy, Martha,Sophie,Lemmy ,Jocker,Georgie,Harry and Jimmy sadly there is only my Mum Lemmy and Aunt Amy left now .In my story Travellers remember hopping time this is the time and place I wrote about.My uncle Jimmy sadly died last May,and when He came to visit from Essex to Kent He used to keep telling My Mum about the travelling fella who had a cafe over Yalding way and he used to make meat puddins and how one time he saw Alan Smith in there and that he hadnt seen him for years,its ironic how at the same time without knowing it Mum and Dad were talking to to Chrissy Smith in the Gala not knowing this was the fella Uncle Jimmy mentioned.Ive spoke to Rita before Christmas and she sounds alovely person and it would be nice to all meet up sometime.Speak to you soon love Beverley x
Mary,
just received issue.5. best one yet congratulations!
h i dont know if anyone can help me iv been trying trace my birth fathers family as im trying to do my family tree his name was ivor smith and he lived in the new forest in the 1960s thats all i know so would be gratful for any info thankyou
Dear Mary & co, Romany Road journal no 5 is the best yet. Thank you so much for the way you presented my story and the lovely Weald & Downland photos. I am sure that everyone who had their articles printed will feel the same. Never thought I would wish my life away but roll on SUMMER journal. God bless you all X X X X X
Thank you for Spring 2008 Edition 5 of "Romany Road" magazine and it's usual superb high quality content. Robert MCDougall
There's an excitement about receiving the latest edition of 'Romany Road' - it really is a pleasure to read with so many Romany insights in short stories, the lovely snippets, and many an evocative photograph or hand drawing.
Much of the publication's charm is surely in it's simple honesty, having no trappings of commercial advertising or other such distractions, just the real meat of content carefully arranged and edited for reading enjoyment. I hope you are never tempted to change any of the style or format of the magazine, I am confident that little could improve what you already have and, any change would probably only result in increasing your overall costs. If only other journals adopted the same realistic approach to their subject matter, their respective readerships would probably quadruple overnight.
Congratulations to you, Mary, and all the team and various contributors, your efforts really are most worthwhile.
Looked at your ghost stories page, very spooky especially the 'Half man half dog' tale from Phoebe. Now that did spook me out, I'd love to know if its true!!
If anyone knows about boxing in Bridgend, Wales, in the 1910s/1920s Id love to hear from you, my great grandad Percy Price/Bush Price was a boxer, then a trainer.
Just had a look at the site its great - Robert Matthews
PS: Forgot to say, Tony Coleman: I have a William Coleman born 1845 in Appledore, Kent, who married Jecholiah Roberts. They had 2 sons.
Barbara Walsh, I have 2 Mark Ripley's on my tree, one baptised 1806 and the other his father. Both from Northiam, Sussex. Does this connect with your ancestors?
Many thanks to JOHN DARVILL who has identified his mother in a photograph on one of our PICTURE GALLERIES and has also given us information about the other children in the photograph. Because of this, I have started a new section called PHOTO IDENTIFICATION, so if anyone can identify or give us fuller information about any of the photos, please do so as this may be very helpful to others. Thanks - Mary
Mary and Chris,
Thank you both so much for inviting me to join Romany Road this year, it has been an experience of a lifetime, I have loved so much sharing my photo's and stories with you and all the Romany Road visitors. Let's hope 2008 will bring us so much more ! love you both for doing this. Rita x x x x x
Thank you Sarah, I was one of the founder members of the Romany & Traveller Family History Society many years ago, since then it has gone from strength to strength and I hope eventually Romany Road will compliment the good work they do. I don't want us to duplicate any of their great history research. just try to collect the kind of stories that come out when families get together and talk about the old days - good or bad as they were! So any you or your family can add any - they would always be welcome! The same goes for anyone reading these pages who find so much of it rings true of some of their family memories! Let's record them for us all to enjoy! Mary
Hi Rita yes the other site is Romany and Traveller Family History Society .
Hi Sarah,
Lovely comment, can you tell me what the other brilliant site you have visited
Thank you
Rita
Forgot to say we have 2 brilliant sites now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The wonderful website Romany Road is like an Aladdin's Cave. A picture is sometimes worth a thousand words.
Jan in Australia
Just an update, in case this rings a bell with anyone. Is anyone connected to the Roberts of Sussex and Kent (Samson Roberts, anyone?) and the Roberts and Mitchells of S Wales? My great great grandad Samson Roberts bought a cinema in Aberkenfig and donated it to the community, on the condition it was never sold. He was a well respected horse dealer, as was his son Jim Roberts. Samson's daughters Arty and Genty were fortune tellers in Newport.
cooee just look at me sister nostopping me on this drom now.!ha,haxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yippee!!! At last, you've got it - we'll make a computer wizard out of you yet my sister!

Thank you all for this wonderful site. My mother is Emily Light who passed away November 15, 2005 in Vancouver, Canada. This is something that she would have loved to see and contribute to. She was the youngest of the Light Family of Walthamstow, the 14 brothers and sisters. Thanks to my lovely cousin Rita Light Jones I have been able to see the wonderful site you have put together to keep these faboulous memories alive. Marney Skinner, Vancouver Canada
Mary, thank you for showing everyone the Walthamstow pictures, I am so proud of them and I know most of the names and will put them to the pictures with Rita's and your help. thanks again Mary Phoebe Light
Oh Mary, the Walthamstow pictures are lovely, they really take me back to my childhood, well done !

Hi
Can anyone help. I am tracing my fathers family tree - Jackson and have been trying to find his Auntie Dot (nee Dorothy Jackson) who married a Jim Stevens - Ashford. My Father lost contact when his father died. After tring to find my great Aunt Dorothy for the last 5 years the message on the grapevine to Deal was that she had sadly passed away, so sadly I am too late. However, does anyone know the Stevens family. If so I would be grateful if if you could help.
Kerrie
