Hi tiggi, One of my sisters has got lots of photographs that use to belong to my Grandmother Esther Ann, my Mother took them all from my Grandmother's house when she went to live in a old peoples home just before she died. Then my Mother was moving so she gave them to my sister for safe keeping. My sister asked me to have a look at them as I am the eldest to see if I recognized anyone but I didn't recognize anyone, I said all of these photos must go back years. Paul.

Hi tiggi, If I put them on the web my Aunty would sue me for ever penny have. I wouldn't dream of putting them on the net until my Mother, Aunts and Uncle have died because they know who they all are, but won't tell any of us, that is why my sister won't give them back to my Mother. As far as my sister's concerned they've kept us in the dark long enough. Paul.

Hi Cathayb - or any anyone else who can help!!!
I have Stevens in my family tree. Would love to know if there are any connections in the present romani community?? One branch of the family (mine) were very often described as 'gypsy tinkers' 'gyspy tinker's daughter' and had occupations such as knife grinder, hawker etc and travelled all over the south but the other side of the family were very much settled in Chedworth, Gloucestershire as agricultural labourers. But this is going back to the mid 1800s.
I know that in 1901 some of my ggg aunts (Evans) and uncles were living in tents in Wedmore, Somerset.
Thanks!
Bee

Hi Hony Roma
I noticed that in your preferences you have mentioned the mundays. I do not know whether my mundays were romany gypsy or not, but I have a feeling that this may have been the case due to the fact that along with many romany they came to australia in 1842 on the Simon Taylor. My Munday line starts with Geoffrey Munday and Anne Nichael in about 1700 in Aston Rowan Oxforshire. But the Couple to come to OZ were William Munday and Anne Mason. Are we on the same page?

. My sisters and I all have Jewish names, Ruth, Rachel & Rebecca, AKA the three R's! Mum was an infant teacher, but the link was most likely accidental.
