Janeo - I have Elliotts.  Matilda Elliott was my great great granny, so we may be related. And I live 5 mins from Foleshill

we could be related lots of romany surnames in my tree.. lots come from kent ,sussex,croydon. my gg-gran lived in a tent in mitcham with her hubby... where most travellers lived...  I have Issac think thats a nice name.

Not sure if i'm replying to myself, lots of travellers use jewish names i have some in my family link...  I have a kezia or kezah roberts found its a jewish name she is of german decent so i wonder if she is jewish-german. But i have traveller links in my family with jewish names..

Hi Jew      havent been on here since I last posted so didnt see your posts. I dont have a Kezia but I have a vague notion the Roberts gypsies from Kent/Sussex were all related. I hope Im right. x

hi ,I,ve since found a lot more info on my Smiths ,but not the elliots. It seems a lot of travellers and romanys stopped at Court House Green Foleshill ,must have been a big site .My grannys name was Jane Elliott ,her dad was Fred Elliott horse dealer thats all i know, she married my grandad Ben Smith in 1906 at Barby near Daventry.they seem to have been around that area a lot .Both are buried at Walsgrove [Walsgrave?] cemetary the big one.My dad told me a lot of relatives were buried there.------janeo.

Hi rebekahm

I sent you message dont know where its gone so i write out again.... Need to say sorry someone gave me a tree  of my ggg-grandmother kezia her surname name is taylor not roberts...  She and her husband George curd came from kent sussex. I have a book called A Stall Story... of 100yrs of market Trading of surrey street market croydon. George curd my ggg- father Had 3 greengrocery shops and stalls...  The book was wrote by viviene lovett my mums side of family. But it as my dads side the curds. My ggg-father George curd than became the biggest horse dealer in the south of england,dueing ww1. He sold these horses and ponies to united Dairies,bakers,army to be used as mounted home guards in east Anglia.
 He bought these horses from the roberts your family from wales,who did came from kent sussex. Someone did get in touch with me on some site that it was her family roberts who sold the horses to George curd..
