Hi Rebecca
if you look on page 48 on the posts that say Gipsy Dan Boswell just below this post you will read of the Gipsy Holmes from up this way, you don't ever have to apologise about nothing to me, I am very pleased to meet you, I was just drawn to your post by what you said, it is the truth tho, there was from long ago People known as the Gipsy Holmes, I was told they are connected to the Smiths, the Holmes really did split and one of there Old Relatives set up a Family line down the south, so I would say there is a very strong chance all the Gipsy Holmes from the south come from the Gipsys I speak of, I may be wrong of course, I do remember talking to a Lady in Bognor Regis in the 90s, She had a fortune-telling booth on the sea front, I was just having a friendly chat to Her, She said in reply to me that the only name I was talking about was the name Holmes, in regards to Gipsy People from down the south, who is who and how or evan if they are Connected or Related I do not know, all I can do is to try and help you, maybe nothing I say relates to your researchers, but still I hope I have been of help
Regards
michael
