My dad had a gyspy look

I know my grandad wasn't a gypsy...He married Mary Ann Elks.  I can trace his side back to early 1500's.

Ummmms...

we've got gypsies straying in and out of the family,  I've just found a Booth marrying into my definate Smith Gypsy family.  I'll have to look at that tomorrow.

I'm going to reread some of my gypsy books too - see if I can pick something there up.

just got JJ to bed (he has ASD & GDD) -
So off to my own bed now - today has been pants - hope to have more energy tomorrow.

Hi Both of you,

Well you have lost me with all this gipesy talk I've no idea where to strat with that.

I do know that in someof the newspaper reports that I've seen Everett Plumb is reported as a Gipsy.
I also know that the 1st William Plumb we have was not a gipsy as he had a house and shop in Lambley I'm going to get a copy of his Will to day.

The christening I posted last night maybe the wrong one as I've also found a baptism for Lucy Mason at St Barnabas R.C. 17 March 1861 born9 Dec 1846 daughter of John Mason and Ann Cook.

I think Everett Plumb was most certain a gypsy, but where it came from I have no idea

I'm going to have another crack of trying to find something on Joseph Elks....Think I may have to delve into staffordshire.

I do know Frederick's wife was born in Staffordshire


If William Plumb had a shop....what made some of his decendents go into gypsy life? I would have thought if you owned a shop you wasn't completly poor.

The more we find, the more questions we get....which is good, makes it more interesting.

Hi,

I know Everett Plumb bn c1833 was gypsyish and noted as being a gypsy- and his partner Kasiah Booth was definately gypsy - they lead a very gypsy lifestyle.

Everett Plumb's mother Ann Cook bn 1806 had a child with her second partner John Mason called
Leudure or Lendon Collin Plumb bn c c1843 (male child)  which feels a bit of a gypsy name, which brings me back to thinking the gypsy line may come from her...

Not so good today.


Nottsgirl...   Thanks for the 2nd bap for Lucy Mason - I think that is the correct one...  Is there any chance of looking at the same church to see if Leudure or Lendon collin Plumb is bap there too???  his surname could have been Mason.

Maybe we need to take a look at the cook line of the family....see if her parents were gypsies,


Hope you feel better soon ....did you say you had come off your meds?......that will be having an affect on you

just been looking at the tree of the Plumbs i have got now and I think the gypsy side must have come from William and Ann Selby...they had a son Absalom, a son Eli and a daughter Didonia......all 3 of those are gypsy names.

May be it came from his wife Ann Selby.


It couldn't have come from Ann Cook seeing as it is Nathan's siblings that have those gypsy names....However, that is not saying Ann didn't come from gypsies.
