Marion Jones [Welsh Gypsy descent] b1873
« on: Sunday 26 August 07 22:44 BST (UK) »
I am looking for details of my Great-grandmother Marion Jones b 1873 in Wales I believe. She was either a Romani or her Mother was. My Grandmother often told me of my Romani heritage, but I was young and didn't listen enough... My Aunt confirmed this and told me that we used to visit our Welsh Gypsy relatives. We lived in West Bromwich and left UK in 1958 for Australia, and lost touch with our English and Welsh relatives. I have no idea on where to go next, I can't find out anything about Marion except for on the 1901 census and none of that is very helpful as it only contained information that I already knew.

Hi Susan

Welcome to Rootschat!

Perhaps you could provide full details of the 1901 Census incl the Ref. Number of the Piece, Folio, page etc,  so that we can try following Marion backwards? Do you know the name of her parents?

And do you have her marriage certificate? That at least may determine her father's name and occupation.

Cheers
