I know the death certificate gives her age but I don't know if it gives her madien name or not (it's been a while since I looked at it). Mt memory tells me that she died in 1961 (her husband died in 1949). We have no idea where she came from and thats the problem. I want to know where she came from as it's been a mystery for over 50 year in our family. |

the Archives in Liverpool have books on gypsy ancestry and the are some websites out there. I posted some on the guest book a few weeks ago. The readers digest Family history book has a lot of information on finding Gypsy ancestors.Try your local library as some genealogy web guides have sites listed that can help |

Matthew Dependent on when she was born (her age should be on the death certificate) you may be able to find her on a census. I know it's a long shot but if you know the area and / or address, just put her christian name in and you may just strike lucky. Good luck. Lynne Sale CHS |
