Hi Dom, My name is Ann. Ivy Lillian Amy (Dina) was my granny too, our families lost touch when my parents divorced. It was great to see your name on the board! I have just discovered the same as you have posted. Nanny Crow was decidedly economical with the truth when it came to her origins. I have my suspicions that there is more than a little gypsy blood in us. The occupations listed, Dealer, Hawker & Licensed Hawker bear this out, also from what I remember Dina was a bit Indian looking. One avenue I have been trying to follow is a lady who lived in Southampton opposite the Pirelli Slipper factory, her name was Grace, she was older than Nanny Crow & we called her Aunty Grace, wether she was a real relative I don't know. Her daughter Rosie lived on a dairy farm in Petworth. I have memories of staying with both of them with Nanny Crow but as I was very young they are hazy to say the least. I'm not sure how this site works but if you can contact me I would love to talk to you Cheers Annie
