 I have been trying to find info about my great grandmothers family for so long. She was Gentila Roberts, known as Gentina. Her mother was Mary Ann...but without a birth entry or marriage entry on BMD, thats all we know. She was born 1890 in Bristol according to her death cert, and died in 1966 in Newport, S Wales. Her 'husband' was Percy Price, whom she had 3 children with born 1920-1924. They lived in Pleasant View, Brynmenyn,near Bridgend, S Wales. As I say, I nor anyone can find a marriage entry. She later lived with an Alan Edwards, on Cowbridge Rd Bridgend. Gentila was a palmist and fortune teller, although I dont think Percy was Romany. Relations of Gentila's (and we don't know the exact connection) were named Jim & Agnes Roberts, with their son Bill. They lived in a traditional gypsy wagon at the entrance to Brynmenyn train station. Jim was a very well known horse dealer who also made boilers, very respected, and Agnes was a travelling draper. Bill attended the village school in the 1930s, I have written to the school and received no reply.
