Do you know of any Dallow travellers?

[elwellknight]

As a child I can recall being told that we had Dallow family members who were travellers. The Dallow's originally were boat people who were sometimes called water gypsies. They became land based in Worcestershire in the early 1800's living in Stourport (Lower Mitton) & Droitwich. I do not know which part of the family became land gypsies & would love to know more.
If anyone has knowledge of any travellers with the surname Dallow I would welcome contact please.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi. I see you have not received any response. So hope this helps. There's no such thing as a water Romany . It's just a name. But your ancestors may have married into some gypsy family. I have travelled all over the country as a full blood traveller myself.  I haven't heard of a dallow.  but that is not to say there are none. Lots of romany folk change names. If a gorgio./ non travellers.  Marry in. The man often takes the women's surname. Try looking for a gypsy sounding name. or occupation. In the marriage of your people. It has been a help to others so give it a go. . Cushty bock. .good luck. Rob.

Hi,
I found this on the Romany Genes Site.

1825 Monday, 1 August Bristol Mercury 1822 –
ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE – At Worcester, sentence of death was recorded against Fanny and Eliz. DALLOW (mother and daughter, and gypsies) for stealing, near Tenbury, a pony, which though worth 10/- they sold at Upton-on-Severn for 4/-. They were both in custody before, on a charge of stealing a cow, but were acquitted.
