Hi Julie t,

I have given your post a thread of it's own as it may attract more attention that way.

Hi Julie,
Welcome to the forum. |wave|
I've found the birth registrations of John in June quarter 1892, and Violet in September quarter 1892. Do you have their birth certificates? It's always recommended that you obtain the birth certificates of your direct ancestors to confirm who their parents were.
If you want help in obtaining those certificates, please ask. Especially as Violet has a very dodgy page number on her registration, so I would advise obtaining that certificate from Lincolnshire registration services rather than the GRO.
Have you found John and Violet on the census? Do you know the names of their siblings?
And most importantly, what do you already know, and what exactly would you like to find out? :)
Pam

Sounds to me, from the Norris Hearne connection, that you belong firmly in the family tree of Mullender Hearn/Hearne/Heron etc

I can recommend you check out on google search two sites: Romany Genes, and Romany Road. The former has absolutely masses of information for anyone researching gypsy families, and the second is run by someone who belongs with that family line.

Good luck

Ann

PS am very interested in any references to gypsy families who lived or had connections to Boston, Lincs (as my own family eventually settled there) so any and all info gratefully received.
