Post by: sue q on Saturday 24 November 12 17:13 GMT (UK)

Hi, according to the book of Bob. Williams is a gypsy name, I have a Jane Williams she says born Launceston Cornwall, however I cannot find a baptism in Launceston around that time 1798-1800, my grandad always said that his mother, Jane's daughter spoke Spanish, however I'm wondering if she actually spoke Romany and Jane taught it to her. Does anyone on here have any Williams connections? and maybe point me in the right direction. Thank you.
Sue
