Hello All,

Its been some time since I have posted here, I have started a new job and been waiting on a number of DNA tests... I am 99.9% sure my Wilsher line is Romani now, my uncles DNA results have thrown up a number of DNA matches at 30cm-50cm lenght with the surnames of: Winter, Smith, Boswell, Holmes and some others.

My goal now, is to pin point the correct place for my Henry Wilsher and then link the other blood lines to him... I am also waiting on my Y-67 familytreeDNA results. As I start purchasing certificates and find news reports, I will post all information here for any one who seeks their roots like I am.


All most 5 months on and I feel like I have only even started my trip in to the past!

Hi all ,

So I'm back at my research now, I have purchased about 50 certificates of B/M/D for the Wilsher Romani family... I am hoping to hit the 150 certificate mark before the end of 2019.

So for a  question-
Any one here come across any real links and proof of marriages with the Wilsher and Boswell families?

New Member of the Wilsher Family, and more proof of blood line...

So I purchased a Birth Certificate for a random Wilsher child, that was in a 1939 census with Elizbeth Wilsher nee Woodward. Elizbeth would of been in her 70s at this point, and the child Roland Wilsher was aged 11-12.

So I was purely interested in who his parents were, so I could add him to my tree...

Turned out he was my Great grand father's (Joseph Wilsher 1907) half bother, being born in the same house 12 months before my granddads bother, at 22 Pipe street Nottingham.

Roland Wilsher Father is Henry Wilsher born 11 Dec 1885 Ilkeston, Derbyshire in a Van. Henry Wilsher 1885 parents are Joseph Wilsher born Aug 1865 Attercliffe, Yorkshire and Elizbeth Wilsher nee Woodward 1863.

My Great grandfather Joseph Wilsher 1907 is placed in a census 1911 with a Henry Wilsher and Mary Wilsher nee Earl, at Rotherham... I was told Joseph 1907 settled in Nottingham and at a later date Mary settled in Nottingham. I have always believed, he must of followed his father and think this is strong proof.

Roland Wilsher Born 1927 April, 22 Pipe Street, Nottingham-Father Henry Wilsher 1885
Joseph Wilsher Born 1928 April, 22 Pipe Street, Nottinggam-Father Joseph Wilsher 1907

With the Strong Dna matchs to the Holmes/Wilsher line, I think I may of just proved the correct place of my Great grand father, and his place in this family. No doubt I have much more to learn and find but I feel, as if im fainlly getting some where.

Hi

I found your thread a few weeks ago and have been meaning to get in touch to tell you about my Grandad who I thought may fit into your tree but since my last visit you appear to have found him yourself! Roland Wilsher, sadly now passed, lived in Nottingham all his life. His Widow, Mary (my Grandmother) is still alive and approaching her 91st Birthday. Their two children both still live locally as do four of their five grandchildren (of which I am one, 38yrs old) so the Wilsher line is still very much alive and kicking in Nottingham. We were raised on tales of gypsy heritage so its fascinating for us to see how much work you have done looking into our family. Please feel free to PM me. Best wishes, Jennifer.

So these 5 families are all directly related, Family one being Joseph Wilshaw and Maria Wilshaw nee Knight. Family two also three are their two sons William and Thomas/Tom and grand children...  Rebecca Wilsher being the women I have writ about in the past posts at Pleasley Nottinghamshire.

Then family four and five being another two sons of Joseph Wilshaw and Maria Wilshaw nee Knight at St George, Nottinghamshire at Smith field in caravans.

It's interesting to see, into at least the 1930s-1940s many of Joseph Wilshaw and Maria Wilshaw nee Knight branch of the tree, keep living or hanging around as a strong family unit, while still travelling the midlands.
