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.

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

I shall look at these sites, thank you. I the last webchat Anthony suggested I checked out Robert Dawson's Traveller and Gypsy Index (contact him at 188 Alfreston Road, Blackwell, Alfreton, Derbyshire, DE55 5JH), I must admit I haven't yet, but it might be useful for someone. Suex

Or you could try:- Additional information on Gypsies, Travelling Showmen, Circus and other Travellers can be obtained from : The Romany and Traveller Family History Society 6 St. James Walk South Chailey, East Sussex England, BN8 4BU The society's publications 'Some Travellers in the 1891 Census' (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4) may be of special interest to researchers of fairground travellers.
