Title: Richardson and others
Post by: roomar on Monday 07 November 11 07:19 GMT (UK)
Hello to all you seasoned researchers of ROMANYS.Whilst researching a Lodge/Richardson marriage and trying to get back further than late 1700's I found that some names kept popping up. Would any of you know if these families have a connection to Romanys.
LODGE,KING,EASTER,CHALK,ARCHER,RICHARDSON,COOPER,SPICE,SAUNDERS,SCOTNEY,BAILEY.
Would appreciate any information.

Roomar; A glance showed me that *many* of those surnames could be considered Gypsy ones.

 A look in " A Romany In The Family (http://A Romany In The Family) ", by Robert Dawson, shows most of them could.

Hi,
Any first names that you are looking for all the surnames are adopted or used by Gypsy/Romany famillies perhaps with the given names researchers may be able to help you.
