Kent/Surrey/Sussex & Other's
From all over the Country and beyond! if you can add or want to send a story or picture just email me!
Well now its hard to know where to start and stop !!
Allthough my main lines are the Dorset/Wilts/Hampshire/Somerset/Devon and Berkshire Romanies its not that simple as nearly every County had Romanies who married into other romany families from all over England and thats not including Scotland Ireland and Wales!But space and time would not permit every place or person!But I hope here to include many well known names from Kent,Essex,Surrey and Sussex and many more from the "Home Counties" so if I seem to go astray somewhat its because sometimes they are in different Counties at the time of Census or baptism's as was the normal pattern for travelling folki.
Also Herefordshre/Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire/Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire well I think you get the picture!!
Kent is of course the" Garden of England" and as such many Romany families who worked on the fruit farms and in the Hopping fields also settled there and made it their home. Beany,Brazill,Bibby,Eastwood,Scamp,Ransley,Lee, Cooper,Mathews,Barton and many more are to be found in the parish records and census.It would be impossible to have any order as such (well maybe but not in my method!!) so it will be random and based on the information and genealogical data I have collected over the years,where I happen to know more I will extend on that particular family as allways if you see a family member and want to add ore info or see a mistake please let me know and I will correct it ,for starters I have not included all the birth places but will as time permits put the places of birth , Kushti Bokt.
