Travelling People / Patterson Family
« on: Thursday 22 February 07 23:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, Trying to trace my dad's people.  His mother was Jane Patterson who married William Ward [Hartlepool - he wasn't a traveller, but a very clever musical man who then took up with her way of life and went travelling in wagon].  I know my dad had lots of cousins tied up with Blackpool golden mile, [he called them the black faced uns].  Also his brother Dicky Ward married Lucy Keating [always went with fairs/circus - hot dog stall and hoopla stalls I think].  Any help in starting this 'tree' would be appreciated.  I just wish I had taped all the stories my dad used to tell me, staying in villages and the locals talking about the gypsy children, he always said they weren't gypsys but travellers.  Thanks a lot, whpool
