This is all fascinating and cant thank you all enough for helping with this and just highlights there are some decent people in the world still. Im fairly knew to all this so do records get difficult to trace/ find before a certain date?

I have not been lucky enough to have Romanys in my family but you may find some info on this rootschat board  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/travelling-people/

Strangely, I do however have tenuous connections to Keysoe - My grandad was born there in 1863 

Any problems you have just post on rootschat, it is a really friendly site and there is normally someone that can help.

As Mabel was born in Oxfordshire she may have married there, I don't think there is a lot online for this county though I am probably wrong.  It might be worthwhile asking for a lookup for Stephens marriage to Mabel as many people have indexes etc.

Yes im really pleased with how helpful everyone is on this site. I have quite a lot of Romany in my blood line not just from the Fletcher side but my nans who are the Kettlewells from Driffield in Yorkshire and my mums side who are Stallards from the Faringdon area
