Hi Fuller. Great idea.
Just looked at the first site on the list and it seems that they are referring to Scots Romani whereas the second site covers the gaelic speaking Scots travellers. One of the most famous Scottish Romani was Billy Marshall from the Romani Marshall family who lead an uprising and became personal friend to the king of England. It seems that everywhere in the UK there is now a vast inter-marriage between the different groups. I am interesting in which families originate from which groups. From the list I have relatives through marriage etc from the Lees, Smiths, Cooper, Beaney, Boswell, Penfold & Ball. I am also part Harris as the mother of my Bari Puri Dai was a Harris. I know that the families Lee, Smith, Jones, Cooper Boswell (& I think Stanley) along with other surnames such as Herne, Wood, Marshall are old traditional Romani surnames taken after arriving in the UK and have been recorded as going back generations and can be found all around the world. Often it is recorded by Romani writers such as Manfri Frederick Wood that back around the war time and before that these families would only marry between the other mentioned families. The Beaneys are my relatives who are married in with my Brasils, Ripleys and Arnolds relatives and live mainly I think in Kent. Some Beaneys married into the Romani Smiths and Cooper family. Interestingly the majority of Smiths and Coopers (as are the Lees and Boswell) are darker complexion or Black haired where as the Beaneys, Ripleys & Brasils are often very fair. On the Penfolds I am related to also married in to the Ripleys (there was 11 children) and live in Chatham though I know a big boxing Penfold family in SE London. Harris although my Bari puri dai's mother was one I know little about and rarely meet travellers with this surname. |

Hi Cj Eastwood
Thanks for the letter, Glad you liked the idea.
There are Beaney, Brasils, and Harris in Sussex, I know the Brasils still travel, and i believe have a website.
Lau.
------------------------
The Idea
There is so many websites out there and blogs or whatever about Romanies that nobody gets to see, So if anybody as a website or blog that they want to share, Or know about a interesting site, Then share it with us other Romanies, or in my case part Romany, My Father married out ?, Well that's the idea, Remember it not my "Websites", Its everybody's.

Hi Fuller,
My Bari puri Dai on my father's father's father's side was a Brasil. I think they lived in Chatham but I'm not sure I believe that many of the Brasils lived in or had something to do with Audershot. |
