My Maternal Great Gran ~ Polly Burge

Hyah, Flumpit2. Interesting that ye mention ye Grandad Sherriff went into brick, in the 1930's. Only, according to Bob Dawson's book, that name fizzled out, amongst travelling Gypsys, around 1995. Maybe ye've recorded the trend there?
Prior to that? Yeppers. It was recorded in the counties ye mention, and more. He does indicate its occurrence was intermittent though.
Funnily enough, as a Pest Controller, the name Sheriff is now synonymous, to me, with 'Bee Suits'. Theirs are just about the industry standard. But, those Sheriff's are based in Cornwall.

Probably of no consequence flumpit2, but my Grt Grt Gran was a Dinah Sherrif from the North West . She was the wife of one Othea Boswell. Her children used both the names Boswell and Sherrif. If you look on Romany Genes, you will see a photo of John Sherrif, who was the Brother of my Grt Grandad, Lavina Boswell.
The lady who posts on here as An65, imformed me that the Sherrif and Boswell names, were along with Boss, pretty much interchangeable.
This family frequented the counties that you mention.

Hi,to the best of my knowledge Abraham had 1 son Matthew & 2 daughters Myra & Louisa.Im not saying that there wernt more children tho as 3 seems quite a small number for a gypsy family but i havent found anymore as of yet.Abrahams grandchildren on Matthews side are Reginald,Matthew,Alfred,Dennis and Bella.I havent yet managed to find out who Myra & Louisa were married to or about Children yet.
Abraham was one of 14 children (Alfred,Francis,Oati,Joseph,William,Perrin,Thomas,Matilda,Uriah,Loreni,Eldri,Mary & Hope being the other 13).
I have a family tree on Ancestory if you send me ur email addy i will send you an invite to it so you can see for urself if ur part of this family.My name on Ancestory is shazza_3197 & the trees called Sherriff (Romany Gypsy) Family Tree.

Great Grandma Phyllis Smith nee Holland

Hi flumpit2, I have been delving into all my paperwork, I think now maybe, we are related. You mention Abraham being 1 of 14 children, I'm not sure but I suspect Matilda is my ancester. I think she married Isaiah Holland and had a daughter Phyllis ( my great grandmother )

Hello, I've decided that I would love to trace my Romany roots. My granddad lived as a Romany when he was younger. I am actually a 1/4 Romany and want to find out if I have any relations still living the Romany lifestyle. My granddad was Peter Sherriff. My mum's name is Julie Sherriff. I think my granddad lived in Burton. Can anyone help or advise as to the best place to start looking.
Thanx
