Thank you, as I cannot seem to do this, and access much in terms of records on the internet, would you be able to search up a William Webb, married Mary Pragnel 1738 and was possibly born 1720, due to a record I have found of a birth in romsey at that time, which would make sense with the marriage time. I would like to know who William's father was please. Thank you.

I am looking to find out whether I am gypsy or if not what the proper name for my type of family could be. ...
Basically, my grandad used to go into the closest city with other family members and other local gypsy and fairground kids starting fights with people...

 My grandad also used to have a lot of fights with people and apparently mostly won...

 My dad and uncle lived in a caravan for a bit of time, I think they travelled a bit I’m not sure though....

 I also have a massive family who all live close to me, and we are all very close to each other and family is very important to us.... 

My dad also allows me to drink a bit around family....     

As others have shown you, none of your relatives, for quite a long way back have been travellers, so none of this fighting/drinking stuff is relevant to your search (and very stereotyping.)  I also lived in a caravan when I was young, as did my father when he was, but we are not from a travelling family.

Don't put too much store by vague family stories - enjoy the search for who your ancestors really were. You've been given a lot of help here but still seem to be chasing a family myth.

With their marriage date in mind, is there any few records which may make sense?

Hi crazyshotgug69

Where do you live and what is your occupation?

You wouldn't be a philosophy undergraduate, or post graduate, by any chance would you?

Im not chasing a family myth, now I am just purely interested in where my family has come from.

I live in Lockerley, just outside of Romsey and I do not have an occupation.
