I came upon this site purely by chance, so if you are searching for any of the above, you should certainly take a look. www(.)nwon(.)com/pauline/Travellers(.)html (Remove brackets!) It includes links to loads of other sites, including lists of people on the 1881 and 1891 censuses. Certainly worth a look, I can assure you. Janet

Thank you for that Janet, Have saved it for future reference. Family heresay says that my paternal Grandmother was a daughter of a Romany Gypsy, and her name was King. I am planning on tracing the link later on. T x

The http://www.passing-through.*co.uk/index.htm doesn't acually work even when you remove the Asterisk. BUT the one at the top does. Well done Janet from East Northamptonshire.

Thanks Bev
