Thank you Carole.
I had noticed that before, but on the 1891 census then gives his birth place as Warrington, Lancashire. OK! I see the registration district is Warrington, from the BMD. Thank you again!
I have a family tree on Ancestry and it was only a few months ago that I actually found out my grandfather was Romany. This was shared with me from a distant cousin thru emails at Ancestry. Her 3rd great grandfather (Jacob Winter) and my 2nd great grandfather (Andrew Winter...William Winter's father) were brothers. The difference in the generation of relation to grandfathers, is because I'm quite a bit older than she. I had no idea about my ancestry until this cousin shared with me. Evidently was something my mother's family tried to hide. Including my own mom. Saddens my heart when people live their entire lives in shame.
I've done quite a bit of research on my own at Ancestry, but always helps when others, like yourself...can point out what I miss, like the registration district. Please understand, I'm still a bit of a novice at this and doing my research without any family stories told to me or to gain clues from. Plus I've lived 64 yrs in America and only 2 years of my life in England.
Basically hoping to connect with my Winter & Cunningham families. So that my own children and grandchildren will know of their full heritage, rather than just the bits I had previous to this very revealing news I recently received, that of my grandfather being Romany. Sure has answered many a question for me.
