these above are just extracts I hope to put more up of the writings later,more details I have found offer more clues,
I just want to say also to Relations of the future who find these words that you are to know that what I am about to tell you is true, of course you have read much of the writers of the past and evan the times you now live in, how names were transcribed wrong, how the local accent could of changed how people transcribed the names of People you search for, and true this makes you job of researching a hard task, but let me help you where maybe others can not, when I was young I was the only one to ask, the only one to think of the Past, I was the only one who wanted to know, through this wanting many times just me and my Mother would often just sit and talk, I could see and feel Her going back, those same Far Away Eyes, George Smith had them, Levi and Ria had them, so did Letty, and I stole them all, and still have them, but long before the internet, long before I had evan read a single book, long before I had the Good Luck and Fortune to talk to so many Gipsies of this day and true learn also from them evan thoe I was already set in my ways never to alter, well my Mother would talk of the Older Folk, Relations, we would talk much, the strange thing all of a sudden She also would say a Romany Word that I had never heard Her say before, you know She said there was so much of the Old Talk but now everyone's gone , sure there was mostly now only me to talk to, in the Old Words, that's why the Words would just go to sleep,
but the thing I want Relations who look for the Ones I write about to know is long ago they often new about which name to use, it was no mistake, just out of the blue one day when having the talk with my Mother She just randomly said, they used to have big debates, they used to be going on about which Name is the true one, my Mother teled me this long ago and me not knowing what She was going on about, I just thought a Name was a Name, but She would say they would switch names about but they really new they were all Related evan those if you where mostly named Wilshaw in 1880, you would say that was the true Name, yes they were having debates among themselves of such things long long ago as past down to me as was past down to my Mother as now I give to you freely, you must know these things, in time you will see how they evan fight each other, don't read to much into this, its just the way, Gipsies fight their own more than strangers, you would think them crackers but that's just the truth of it, don't read to much into such things,
of course through time lots of People with the same Name may not be the same People, all sorts of things happen in the history of Familys, do not trouble yourself with worrying to much of these things also, writers place to much truth in honest or dishonest lies,
so if any one could answer my question I would be most grateful indeed, I also would like to know does the name Walter link back straight to the Grahams Knights, or evan the Nelsons, no offence against the name Walter, but you don't see many People with that name, I bet its a past down Name and the clues I give for you to help me is all I have, not saying anything I have learned from learning is true , no never just everything from my Mother was how it was told me, that is the truth I am giving you, all I would like is an answer to the question how was Walter Related to William
