Travelling People / Re: STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS - stories or memories of Traveling families
« on: Friday 11 February 22 11:06 GMT (UK)  »
Bentley Moor the rear of Reedswood Park Walsall had travellers on in my childhood - now just north of junction 10 on the M6.

There was a lane from the moor towards what is now the Beechdale Estate known as Gypsy Lane and Beechdale was called Gypsy Lane Estate for a short while in the 1950s.

This map could give you information about the area of Bentley Moor in1902

Hophni.

On looking it up I found the answer. I have found a lot of males with the name Phineas in the same family, they include my gt grandfather, gt gt grandfather and 4th gt grandfather.

Hophi and Phineas were the two sons of Eli. The first book of Samuel describes them as the officiating priests at the sanctuary of Shiloh at the time of Hannah.

The chart states the child of your first cousin is your 1st cousin once removed which is what I'd put in the post earlier.

The child of your 1st cousin once removed is your 2nd cousin.

Children of first cousins are first cousins once removed not second cousins.

First cousins and first cousins once removed meet at the first cousins grandparents.

Second cousins meet at great grandparents.

Third cousins meet at great great grandparents. etc.
