Shortland...

[skyshot1990]

Some many have seen my Joseph Wilsher 1907 abt posts...

So the other day I started talking to a cousin on my grandmother's Shortland side, who married my Joseph Henry Wilsher 1929.

I started talking about traceing traveler roots, he replied "that's right we have Romani in the family". He went on to say that the connection was on my Shortland blood line...

I spend a little time on Ancestry mapping out a tree, there seems to be direct lines of Shortland, Hall, Bartlett(seems to be a Bartlett marriage with a Bartlett). Indirect lines of Hughes, Cox.

Could any of these names be Romani lines? My cousin seemed so sure I thought I'd asked on here.

I'd be looking at that Bartlett family for Romany links and Cox and Hughes

Looks like you need to do some more investigating to find out what type of work they did and if they lived in tents or caravans

I believe all 3 family's to be south Uk, the Hughes/cox seem to be bournemouth area, The Bartlett seem to be from Somerset over to London...

When I get time, I will have to purchases Birth/Death/marriage... thank you for showing me the link.
