Lorraine: Thanks for your very encouraging message!

I would love to have a copy of Ann's christening record: I descend from daughter Ann born 1804 who married George Jordan, they had a daughter Emma who married James Freeman, their daughter was my grandmum on my mother's side, Alice Freeman

I have read up Travellers a bit and the name Deakins was mentioned.  But I would love to know more! Were they true Romani?

I have sent my email address separately so you can send files etc.

Thanks and I look forward to more

I have found the baptismal record on line for St. Michael Church, Betchworth, Surrey:

Ann Daugr. of Geo. and Ann Deacons (Travellers) Bapd. April 22 (1804)

I believe they were my g-g-g grandparents.

I've looked at an article on "Travellers" which means gypsies/Romani and Deacons/Deakins is a name common among them.

I'd be interested to hear more from you.
