Henry Smith - Romany Gypsy
« on: Wednesday 20 May 09 19:34 UTC (UK) »
Hi

I've been told that one line of my family come from Romany Gypsy's.

My grandad was born in Leominster, Hereford in 1931.  On his birth certificate, and mother are named as Henry Smith, and Elsie Florence May Smith (nee Perkins).  They lived in a caravan on the corner of Sharpstone Lane in Shrewsbury.  Henry was a Hawker from his caravan.

I have no idea where to start with tracing back Henry's family.  I've managed to locate records for Elsie and traced her line back successfully.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can find out about the family of a person who lived in a caravan??  Perhaps someone out there knows something about Henry?  I'm guessing he was born in the 1900's/1910's.  It doesn't help that his surname is Smith!

I would be extremely grateful for any help!

Thanks

Jade
