PS while Im looking up that Allefer Raney reference -

Yes, the story goes that Riley Boss moved south to the Potteries, Kensington and died there in 1850. It was a well-known gypsy stopping place, and he is buried in Brompton churchyard (reputedly). He cut his hand whilst skinning a rabbit and it turned nasty......

Shorensy Boss is buried in Hull, in 1868.

Waitabit: Deliah Wilhelmina was supposedly born cir 1830 at Wootton Lincs, or Hull, Yorks, and shes one of the few Riley Boss baptisms Ive never located.

Brittania was baptised in 1826 at Grasby, Lincs.

Pls could u re-post that ref to Allefer Raney - I didnt have that!! such things are gold..... Delorania Boss married Aaron Heron (aka Young) who went by that alias, and Delorania Boss was Rileys daughter....

Deliah Wilhemina Boss was born 1832 in Banbury, Oxfordshire and died in 1905 in Hull. The above threads are correct that Susan Boss did live nearby, I have susan later residing with George and Deliah at a ripe old age. Fortunately I do have the childrens name and dob for deliah and george.

My questions are with the Wilsons and the two wilsons, William and George marrying the two sisters. On Brittannia's death I have lost William and cannot locate him, however it is such a common name.

I am aware that there are gypsy roots with the Wilson name but so far cannot connect William and George with any of them.

William was born about 1829 in Hull and George about 1831 in Hull. I am at present only presuming they were brothers.

I think this site is great, I dont feel alone searching for this now. Thanks

Oh you certainly arent alone searching for them - I only wish I could give you more on the Wilsons. I cant locate them myself, wish I could!!!

I have more information on Deliah, I believe her grandfather was Elijah Smith and grandMother was Sophia chilcott, any ideas of where they fit in. I am also told that my grandmothers name Susan 'Shurensi yoko' smith was in acutal fact not a smith but was a Petulengro and I believe the same for her father.
