I am descended from the Romani~Gypsies of Hampshire (mainly the New Forest, Southampton area). Would love to know more about the Romanies of Hampshire. I have links to Ayres (ancestral link), Cole (my grandmothers fam), Collins, Cooper (links on both sides) and Knight (my other grandmothers fam).
I never heard of the surname 'James' until a recent convo with my Nan on my heritage. She told me her Sister, Rosa married in to the 'James' family and they lived in a vardo in Southampton. Would love to know more about the 'James' family as I am not familliar with this surname?

I know for a fact that on the way up to Manchester my ancesters stayed in both Broadwater, Sussex and Essex. It would of been sometime in the 1800's as well. I need to show Daddy this.

Hi Derby Dealer,
Thanks for responding. My Nana's sister Rosa Cole Ferguson (she could of gone by name of Haimes as well!) married in to them. They lived in a vardo round Southampton area! I am seeing Daddy today so I can get some dates for you. I think we could be looking at 1930's plus.
Thanks again :) |
