And as for my sister apparently people would get in touch and glean any bits of information they could offer and they're not bother keeping in touch so I don't think she's going to be the most helpful person. She did say that a young boy  america was trying to trace the family back. I'm at a cousin once when i was at work and i said no doubt i've been seeing someone called johnny burgess and just like that he went gary'llllyour cousin I would appreciate anything you can send me I have supplied my email address but believe me they were a strange family

Died he remarried and whoever was the eldest daughter and I'm not sure how old they were was made to look after the children and tend the farm slaughter chickens go to name it and as far as soon as they could they left and went to London. The fact that they are irish yes tons me because no one said a word in my family about our heritage quite the reverse

Hey Neil it was just that my sister said something along those lines she's done quite a lot of research and said that the farm was burnt down a number of times I just posted something in Google and put the Burgess name in and gypsy and it came up on ok Kennedy's gypsy site name is there along with all the other names that maybe aren't quite so common so it's kind of flummoxed me as for the farm I'm not sure if the lady would have been my great great grandmother not sure but my nan I'm obviously a lot younger told the story to my dad and he's brothers and sisters that though whoever he was married to

The roots chat forum is for romany gypsy's.  This is the reason I'm confused.  I have one remaining aunt alive. When I spoke to my cousin she was told by her mum my aunt her grand father or great grand father was a one eyed Irish man.  I'm one of the youngest and was told about the farm. The family move to bow and the Shoreditch area.
They were sent to prison for arson.
So can some one explain why the burgess's are on here.

Hello my name is Elaine
I belive that Richard Burgess was my great great grandfather.
My grand mother was Charlotte Louise Burgess.  Please could some one tell me why they are a Kent travellers site.
My sister has just recently told me.
