Hi.
I've just discovered that my family has romany blood in it.
My grandfather's name was Thomas Davis, born 1907. His father was also Thomas Davis (don't know birth date or wife's name). Thomas Davis senior is listed on his son's marriage certificate as a carter.
My grandfather's siblings were Irene (married name Parker, died in 1962 I believe) and Minnie. There could be more of course. My mum remebers Irene had a gypsy funeral even though she lived in a house (she always kept her caravan).
They are all linked to Walsall in Staffordshire.
I wish I could find out more, but I can't seem to find any registered birth certificated or appearances on the census.
