Marshall and Colton in Nottinghamshire
« on: Friday 04 July 14 08:11 BST (UK) »
Hi. I've just joined this group. I've been trying to find out for many years if there is any truth in the story my grandmother told me of her grandmother being a gypsy. My great great grandmother's name was Shady Colton, daughter of Caleb Colton and Sarah Marshall. They lived in Nottinghamshire and did not travel as far as I can see. I have all the info available from census returns and parish registers but can find no real clue as to Romany connections. The forename Shady is interesting. As well as my gt gt grandmother, her aunt and niece were also called Shady. I've given the name to my daughter. Does anyone know anything of these families?

To start this is her birth.

Shady Colton

Registration Year:
1842

Registration Quarter:
Jul-Aug-Sep

Registration district:
Southwell

Nottinghamshire

Volume: 1
Page: 593

It appears that the family are ag. labs and they look as though they did move villages ( from places of birth of children), but maybe that was just for work rather than being travellers - unless the experienced people on here know the names and can contradict me.
