Wells Family.

[tiggi]

I am sure Betsey Wells was daughter now of Plato Betsey Buckland
 I think her husband must be related to Old Bob( Robert )Wells they lived in USA
Old Bob Wells is mentioned in newspaper report in Fort Lee 1890ish as well known Gypsy King in USA of Wells family can anyone help me here?
 Could be family connections in Dayton Ohio

if you have a connection with eliza huges or miella/mizella/mizelli wells and her grandaughter lovinia then take a look at the www.britishpathe.com films. type in the word gypsy and you will need ''death of gypsy queen''' in yoevil, somerset.

I should correct my findings Betsey ( Elizabeth ) Buckland married Nelson Wells in USA but Wells family originally came from England
Betsey was daughter of Tenet  & Kezia Buckland

Thank you for you aa1webb i have seen that video but have no idea if Nelson wells is connected to her family
best regards

Hi Could you help with my Wells family 

 I didn't know that Wells might be connected to the gypsie families, but saying that I remeber going to goose fair as a little girl and being taken inside a beautiful caravan it took my breath away with the fine china & mirrors it was a cousin as I remember, he owned the Walzter ride

Any way my Wells family I think came fromr Long Buckby Leicestershire
I would love to find out  more
Regards
Charlie   


Wells researchers can be found at http://www.wells-genealogy.org.uk/wells.htm

The main Wells Gypsy families came out of Hampshire:
http://www.wells-genealogy.org.uk/wells1.htm

We were contacted by a Wells group on the east coast of the USA but have now lost contact with them.

There were trading links with Wells gypsies selling horses to the US possibly out of Liverpoool.

We have put up a page for Joseph's travelling theatre:

which links off the Yorkshire Wells researchers page:
