RTFHS database question

[nellie d]

I was just looking at the database on the RTFHS (Romany and Traveller Family History Society)
http://rtfhs.org.uk/family-history-database/
Are there only the three counties of Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire on the database?
I do admit, I am not too techno 😬😁

It also mentions Lincolnshire
The Berkshire Travellers Parish Register Collection
The Lincolnshire Travellers Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates and Parish Register Collection
The Mills family of Battersea, London
The Oxfordshire Travellers Parish Register Collection
The Wiltshire Travellers Parish Register Collection

It has this on the Lincolnshire page, it looks as though they are the only counties covered

Can’t find your ancestor travelling through Lincolnshire? Try our other indexes. We have a Wiltshire Travellers Parish Register Collection, an Oxfordshire Travellers Parish Register Collection, a Berkshire Parish Register Collection and general baptism/birth, marriage and burial/death indexes for events across the UK too.

Thank you Rosie99. I think you have helped me before.
My travellers ancestors were in Kent and Sussex!

That is a shame it does not cover Kent and Sussex or the rest of the country for that matter.  It is odd that it has Lincolnshire with those other 3 counties.  I don't have travellers in my tree so I am afraid I have no other suggestions.

Thanks Rosie…you have helped to answer my question though, as two pairs of eyes on it is better than one…especially when one pair is mine 😂

The RTFHS website offers not only BMD databases dedicated to the counties of Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Lincolnshire but also three nationwide BMD collections. Here are the links to them:

Baptisms and births
http://rtfhs.org.uk/the_rtfhs_baptism_index/

Marriages
http://rtfhs.org.uk/the_rtfhs_marriage_index/

Burials and deaths
http://rtfhs.org.uk/the_rtfhs_burial_index/

These free databases - and other free items - are all listed on one page of the website for easy reference:
http://rtfhs.org.uk/free-records/

https://rtfhs.org.uk/publications/ has information about other indexes available from RTFHS as paid digital downloads such as the four Some Travellers in the 1891 Census volumes, the Buckland and Buckley index and the Sussex Gypsy diaries and RTFHS sells books with info about a variety of families.

It's worth checking back from time to time to see what else has been added to both the free and paid for offerings.
