A Bowers in Southampton
Hi I live in Southampton, England.
I have Romany roots [on my father side] and are very proud of them. My great Grandfather was Noah [Chalkie] Bowers
and my Grandmother was Lavinia [King and Queen of the Gypsies]
I am just starting a family tree, with the help of my son. Just wish I had done it while my parents were alive. It would have been much easier and much more fun.

hi, i know what you mean,
my aunt recently passed away,
we had recently got talking about our family history, & i am now spurred on as a testament to her, to find out. tho it is hard work, & i didn't have much to go on!
my mother's grandad was a gypsy, his mother was viletta bowers, and her father (my gr8-gr8-gr8-grandad) was walker/william bowers.
they travelled mostly around the surrey area, but did at times stay in & around the portsmouth area, and some of viletta's siblings were born in that area.
up to now, that is about as much as i know! best wishes, paula b
