Travelling People / Re: Gypsies - help pls
« on: Saturday 03 October 15 21:25 BST (UK) »Hi everyone, help needed please regarding gypsies in Essex. My husbands grandmother was b 1893 in Chignall, Writtle [her mother died in childbirth]. After her birth she was brought up by her fathers sister and had no further contact with either him or his family. She was told as a child [by whom I don't know] that her mother was a gypsy. How would one go about finding out whether this were true? Any help greatfully appreciated.hi
Cheers,
Julie
