Hello
Yes think there is a connection although not sure how. I can remember my Nan (Lizzie Lovell) talking to me about them saying they were related. I believe they also sold flowers outside Chiswick New Cemetery!

Hello Saroma
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your Nan (my great aunt Millie). I often used to see her around the Brentford area waiting for a bus. I remember her wearing a red mac!  You must have heard lots of stories about the Chiswick days and of the Gypsy ways! My nan (Lizzie) would often speak Romany to my dad, and would tell us lots of stories of her family especially her granny Kate and of her uncles and aunts. (Uncle Henry and his horse! :) You speak of John being a very proud man, I think the whole family were and very proud of their roots as am I. Do you know if Bert is still alive? Lizzie had four boys all very musical. Jacqueline is the daughter of Phoebe who is also musical, and you must be the daughter of either John or Jean Stone?
Would love to rootschat more. Thanks so much for replying.

Hi I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this correctly but here goes! I've been attempting to trace my grandmothers family who were Romany Gypsies. Her name was Elizabeth Lovell (Lizzie Lovell). I came upon roots chat by accident and read your message and couldn't believe what I read. I know of all the people you spoke of! I have a photo of Kate Lovell with her basket on my piano also one of her son John outside his house in Larraine Road Chiswick (he was my Dads grandad). In your message you mention Queenie and Phoebe! Sorry to say the name Queenie is wrong it's Lizzie and Phoebe two very young sisters who's mother had died leaving them with John their father but actually granny Kate (the flower seller) raised them.I just about remember Albert or Bert as you call him as a very you child, but remember his sister more because we used to visit sometime but we new her as aunt Millie. It would be great if you could reply I know it was back last year when you posted. Fingers crossed.
