I have a book called 'A portrait of Ham in Early Victorian times, 1840-1860. It states that there were there was a mass baptism of gipsies on May 30 1853 at St Andrew's Church, Ham when 17 were baptised. 8 more were baptised in 1858 (no date given). So if you haven't already found those entries in the St Andrew's registers of the time, they would be worth looking at. Hope that helps, Julia -----Original Message----- From: DJ & S Holden [mailto:djs@holden32.fsnet.co.uk] Sent: 19 June 2006 16:47 To: SOG-UK-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SoG] gypsies Has anyone any idea where you can find information about the different gypsy families living in the Hampton/Chiswick/Ham area in the 19th century?
