Hi all thanks Nettie for all the census info and Vince for the tip,i have just checked the net page i got info from it says the Tippins who were Gypsies and spoke Romany lived in the Woods behind Crump Meadow Colliery?i think the authors got the name wrong or the info wrong as its not showing the family as Romany on the census apart from the fact Shadrack and Bendigo etc were chimney sweeps.my Dads Tippins line is thru Richard Tippins chimney sweep whos daughter married into i think the Mason family who werent Gypsies,so it looks like the author of the piece got it wrong,and this side of my Dads lot weren Romany,thanks for all the help tho and ive told me Dad to start his own thread next time!Ta Daisy

Hi all im in the process of traceing my Gramps Mums side,whilst googling i came across an article called'Gypsies in the Forest of Dean' the lady who wrote it said her Dad could remember 3 main Gypsy Families as a youngster in the Forest who he learnt Romany from ,one of the families was named Tippins which was Gramps Nans surname she was from the Forest of Dean but settled later on in life in Breconshire.ive traced her line back to 1810 and a baptism of Shadrack Tippins who was the son of Richard Tippins and Hannah York a chimney sweep,Richard i think ive found  on the 1851 census now living as a  pauper,Shadrack also went on to be Chimney sweep as did his brother Abednego(Bendingo)Tippins born in the Forest 1803,there was also a brother born Nataniel in 1821 not sure what he worked as who went on to marry one of the Crockett family.  Great Nans brother always jokingly said the Tippins were Gypsies as all that side were all and are very dark,im just curious to know if anyones heard of the Tippins before or maybe the article saying they were Gypsies and spoke Romany has got it wrong? Any help or advice would be great or any census details for this side of my family would be much appreciated,many thanks Daisy

Cornwall / PAUL, Newlyn family history research
« on: Tuesday 19 April 11 18:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
I posted on here last year and since then have still had no joy!
Im still trying to trace my Gramps 5x grt Grandfather for him i dont want to bore people with the same post but his name was Dennis McDonald who as stated before married Mary Dimsey Forester in Paul in 1807 on 21st feb
Mary was baptised in Paul to parents James and Sarah in 1785
She went on to remarry in 1812 to a Thomas Richards so im assuming somewhere between 1807 and 1812 Dennis died
on a 1857 marriage record for a John McDonald it has father Dennis MacDonald sailor
The reason for me posting again is does anyone know of an organisation in Cornwall that may be able to trace Dennis and hopefully find his place of birth for me? i dont mind paying as its my Gramps 70th birthday in september and id love to be able to show him where our surname originated from if at all possible for his birthday,any help or suggestions would be really appreciated,thanks for your time ;)
kind regards

Hi thanks so much Pennie,Trish and Harry for all that info wow!! Ive just got back from work and checked emails so sorry for not replying sooner,i guess that Thomas Knight Hall was the father and that he did marry into the Sligo or Slinger family after all then,still cant work out the Romany connection i expect itll remain a mystery ???maybe it is just the Hall side that were as i have pics of Thomas (tomma) and he was always dressed in the Romany way and my Gramp says he was well known up as far away as High Wycombe by most of the Romany families there even before the m40 was built he used to travell up there poaching!ill have to jot all this down to show me Gramp,if its o.k Harry id love to see the 20th century baptisms when you have time my Gramp thinks that the Halls married into the Headington Webbs at some point?thanks again all of you for all your time and hard work its really appreciated
kindest regards

Hi Rosie ive checked the link but no joy thanks anyway ;),i did see the marriage to Ellen Slingo as well as possible others my Gramp told me Thomas although born in headington his parents and him lived in horton cum studley? so his parents may of married at Thame or Wheatley maybe im not sure if horton cum studley is near these 2 places? also Thomas was from Romany stock and although Hall is an old Romany surname i m assuming his mother would of also possibly of been from a Traveller family so was expecting her to have a traveller surname i.e Smith,Buckland etc (hope that makes sense!)looks like this is going to be a bit harder to sort out then i thought!! kindest regards
