2) http://romany.rootschat.net/ Both give census details, the second site parish records, marriages and more.

Great links, Annie and Arranroots
Love the videos from the travellerstimes site, esp the hop-picking one. Really got me thinking again about my traveller ancestors, in terms of how things were for travellers in the 19th century - how they moved about and what they lived in.
I know that my Pannells and Newlands/Proudleys were hawkers from census info (also listed in other documents as pegmakers and basketmakers), and also that my Pannell g-g-grandfather was a seasonal hop-picker. I know that hawkers generally had horses as transport (rather than pedlars who supposedly were on foot), but I'm still interested to know how these forebears moved about - did they have a horse and cart? caravan? tent?
I know from some census and birth cert info that my g-g-grandfather Pannell and his family did live in houses from time to time - certainly by 1881, they were I think in almshouses, then after that in a house? in Horsham.
I also wonder about hop-picking in the mid to latter half of the 19th century - was there accommodation available in the hopfields of Kent, or did hop-pickers have to bring their tents, caravans, etc?

If you have Loveridge Connections this site could prove very useful:
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=towcester&id=I8147
A large family tree of the Towcester Loveridges and their married relations has been deposited there.
Whilst not useful as a searchable resource, this page threw up some interesting stuff: theres a fabulous painting of the Shaw Family of Cambridge, and an image of the baptism of Selah, daughter of Edmund (No Name) Heron and wife Rose (Lovell).
http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/leisure/archives/online/breakingthebarriers/barriers8.htm
This ones my own (without wishing to blow my own trumpet!) - just a load of Censuses, photos, etc that Ive extracted along the way whilst trying to piece together various romany families. It centres on Grays Smiths Herons, Boswells and Bosses, but other names are there, especially when camped with one of the above named families. Its not perfect of course, but it might help some folkis.
