Hello Every one
I have just contacted a direct rellie of Jabez and Emily's first born Athalia b 1903
and although they dont know a great deal between us we may find out a lot more.
I have been given a lot of info by one of the great great great grandaughters of Sarah and jeremiah of which I am sifting through.
Athelia's (b 1903) grandson who is from another well documented gypsy family called Bird.
But looking at his website it may well be another Bird group of families.
Watch this space.
Samuel Cooper who married Annie Shephard in Hadlow his father was also called Samuel. b abt 1857.
At first I thought he may have been the son of Robert Cooper and Silvia Williams born in 1856 but on tracing it back he looks as tough he is related to matthias Cooper of Queen Victoria fame. I am convinced he is connected to my Samuel b 1794. But how I am still working out.
