Looking for any one with info. on the Price family from South Wales U.K and the Lees. My Grandad was Creddy Price and my Nana was Catherine, they had 3 daughters
XXX , My grandads brother was Ivor Price
Moderator comment: topic moved - there's another one to consider on the Glamorgan board. Names of people who might still be living removed to prevent identity theft and other abuses

Hi,
You might want to try this website, there is a photo of your Grandad and a photo of your Nan on it.

Hi Marona,
I should have realized when I saw the name R Schatten under both photos.
Anyway had a quick look about again and found this

The third post from June 2009 has been done by a Price, so he is obviously related to you somewhere down the line and hopefully he may be able to help you.

The Lee's were friends of mine :) Used to visit them when they visited Portsmouth. This'd be back around thirty five years ago. Ron' was the elder man back then. Lovely guy.
Got to know some of the Price's too. Peter or Paul, can't remember now. But, he showed me some photo's of his people. Ones we now see in books and on web sites, captioned " The Price Family On The Road ". Procession of vardo's.
Good people, all.

Thanks Nettie for that link, I got in touch with Ricky and I am just awaiting to hear from him now. Have we contacted each other before because you stated " I should have realized".....I am sorry if I do not remember you.
Thanks Rammona

Hi Rammona,
In answer to your question, no we havent been in contact with each other before, so no apology needed. Its just that I saw the name Schatten under the photos and assumed it was yourself.
Your welcome to the link, I know how frustrating it can be trying to find family members, no matter how distantly related they are to you. I do hope that the young Mr Price makes contact with you soon.
Regards

Hi, I just read your reply, sorry for not responding earlier. No I have not seen that book, I have many Roma books but not that one. I will go on E-bay and see how much it is selling for. I just received a great book by Fred Price about Roma, alot of my family are in there but I only recognize one aunt and her husband and family.
Thanks once again for the reference :}

Hi Steve, Thanks for the info. I will check out that web site.

Marona; Sorry, ye've misread me. I refer to no particular web site. It's just that a couple of photo's, black and white ones, now appear to be pretty well ubiquitous.
Indeed, I was passed a couple of books of 'Gypsy Photographs' recently and straight away spotted one of the snap shots I'd been shown by Mr Price, in his trailer.
Saying that; A Google Images search of " Price's " will as likely bring up a link or three to the shots ;)
-
Hi i have a habit of misreading between the lines lol. I did google that and it does show many Roma families.....pretty interesting :}
Thanks

Hello Cwtch and Angel Price.
This afternoon my wife and I were with a traveller friend named Salina Duffy.
She asked me if I could search the net for information of her gt,g/parents as none of her traveller acquaintances were familiar with those names.
Her gt,g/parents were: Maggie Riley from Ireland and Opey Price from Carmarthenshire. Both born ABT. 1890.
Her grandparents were William Lee and Matilda (ne Riley) and their offsprings were : son Opey, dau Rose-Anne and dau Ash-Ella. I guess they were probably born around the 1920s.
I promised Salina I would back check the travellers board on rootschat this evening so ....here we are.
She gave me a lucky stone and I think it may be working already 😃
-
Hi John, saw your posting, if you go on FB onto Friends Of Romany Heritage and put your postings you will probably get some good feedback. I have Rileys' in my family but not sure how we are.
-
Hello Cwtch,
Thank you for your prompt response. My wife lives on Facebook so I will ask her to follow up your suggestion in the morning.
If I make any progress I will keep you posted.
Cheers, John.
-
No problems..She can always send a private message to my cousin Janey Smith who is a traveller. She has alot of good info. Just tell Janey that Rammona put you onto her. Thanks
-
Hi Ramona,
Between you me and the garden gate Salina seems to have difficulty in the reading and writing department which is why she wants me to search on her behalf.
She did mention today that she would be going over to France soon to spend time with friends over there so hopefully I will have some info for her before she goes.
Would Janey mind if I acted as go between on behalf of Salina?
John.
-
Hi John no just let Janey know that I gave you her name, she is very interesting in helping others. My family are Prices and we have some Lees. My mothers's sister married Lala Lee. So I feel certain this is the same family just do not know how to connect it. I believe Opey sounds familiar to me to. I am also on FB. So can be accesses there too. Rammona Evon Price Schatten:))
-
Hi Rammona,
Messaged Janey on FB and was sent a page link for her but the link does not work. It says the page may have been removed.
Does Janey use rootschat?
John.
-
Hallo John, I don't believe Janey is on here, not sure. Thats strange that you were unable to message her. Did you go right onto her page to her message? Try messaging me on FB. What name are you under FB? I can message you etc and see where we go from there?

Hiya Dolly, I will ask my cousin she knows a lot more than me. Will get back if she knows, She is helping me with a Price tree that is on Ancestry, I don't have an account. But my cousin does and I am her guest so I ca see the tree.
-
Ok thankyou I would really appreciate it. I know they moved to wales and have links with cheshire and east midlands, I'm just not sure on how to search since 1920s especially for siblings x
