Steve, If you are near your computer for the next few days, enjoy the book!!
Jenny, Steve has followed my suggestion and bought "The Origins of the British" by Stephen Oppenheimer. A very interesting book about the subject stated in its title.

I have been able to solve the mystery, it seems the gypsy connection came from my fiancees great great grandmother Lily Jones whoose sister married a famous Pat Collins Fair Boxing Stall Propierter by the name of Charlie Hickman (who from stories told once held the Lonsdale Belt and also trained Randolph Turpin)

The Jones Family as a whole must have uprooted from Walsall and travelled with Fair
