I wonder if anyone can help me.i have attached a photo of my mother with Old Pet. (Xavier) My mother Illena Smith married Leon Petulengro in 1937 in Baildon at a huge gypsy wedding with 40,000 people present. I know its a long time ago but can anyone remember it or even better were they there?

Hello all. my sister and I have found this interesting reading. Our mother was married to Leon Petulengro in Baildon on 2nd/9th/1937 she was Illena Smith and shows on the Pathe news clip.I also have the newpaper cutting from the Telegraph and Argus and some of the original photos from the wedding. We would love to be in touch with any members of the family or people that can fill in a lot of the gaps, as we may be able to fill in a few for others.. We have been told we may have half sisters and brothers from this marriage that we do not know about.I have enclosed a photo from the wedding. This one I have taken from the Pathe news clip but I have some of my own. To add to some of the information on here, yes my mother danced,  her and Leon also featured in an old black and white film as Gypsy dancers, does anyone know any way I could find that?Thanks Nicola
