Fletcher(Davis) Forest of Dean

Mornin All
Ive seen some articles on The death of Sarah Fletcher Queen of the gypsy tribes of the Forest of Dean 1940s i think?
Her surname prior to marriage was Davis another well known Romany family in the forest ive seen Davis mentioned alongside Fletcher Butler Smith Baldwin etc has anyone by chance traced  Sarahs parents or siblings ever? ive not got ancestry so any look ups or links hints would be great
According to article i see it states her age at death as 100? So much been born 1850s
after visiting me Dad and goin thru old stuff of his i see his Davis family written on bit of paper looks like it contains Merana (Miranda) and Lettice Davis (Lettuce) Davis ?
Many thanks
All the best
Dunc

Hi
Newspapers dated August 1929 have articles on her death so a little earlier than you thought.  Says she was over 100 and had 24 children and numerous grand and great grandchildren.
