hi thank you so much for replying to me. i dont know anything about my nans side of the family. i was looking at her birth certificate on line and her birth was registered at the beacon gypsy embankment camp. her name was mary ann hedges and she was born there on the 14th april 1911. there is no mention of her mother. i was told she could have been a twin/. x
