Shadrach Gregg
« on: Friday 13 October 17 08:19 BST (UK) »
Hi
I wonder If some kind person could help me please
I'm researching my Gregg ancestors who were Travellers
Shadrach is a family name going back to the early 1700's
I'm interested in a baptism at Kirkheaton on 14th July 1864
FamilySearch shows a record for the baptism of Betsy Gregg or Gifsy
Her father is Shadrach Gregg or Gifsy and mother Elizabeth
If someone has access to the actual Parish registers, could they please check if this does say Gifsy or perhaps "Gypsy" and also if the record shows any other information  such as "abode" and "occupation"
I would be very grateful for any help
