Hi Sue,great to see your developing an american counterpart of romanygenes,very distinct and individual.Im sure it will be another great success and attract many of our american friends,take care,Ray thedurzetbaird

Great to see the American Romany on the web as not much about us anywhere!! and we are here LOL ! any info on the Cooper/Stanley and Wharton families that came over in the mid 1850s apreciated and if any one has any pics would be great ,it would be great to connect to any of our cousins in England thanks Duanne.

Hi Sue

Im so glad that I.ve found your site. I've been looking for information on my family for years. Specificaly the Palmer's, the Wharton's, and the Harrison's. I noticed that someone else in the guestbook mentioned the Whartons also.

Thanks Terry , yes Duanne post again!! !! we need any help we can get to break down the brick walls and make the missing link to all the families in England there must be many folk in the States who ae related to the main Romany families that feature in so many artcles from the Gypsy Lore Society ,I am gradually making progress but as you mentioned before i dont think the folki in Britain realise just how many of their kin went to the States and also Australia and New Zealand so come on folks!!! Get in contact!!!:)

Sue,

I'm Terry's cousin.

Thanks for putting our family on your site.

Keep up the good work.

This is a wonderful site. Thank you for all the work you have done. My daughter is married to Wayne Boswell in Virginia. His Father Edward Boswell was born in West Virginia. I am researching his family history for him and my granddaughter. Many thanks.

THANKS SHERRY glad you like the site i hope it will be growing as I get more info and people sharing histories etc ,keep coming back as I shall be ading much more!!.

I have been searching for info about my husbands family. Our daughter is doing research about her ancesters and we have hit some dead ends, so to speak. I found your site and learned more in one night than I had in years. I saw a picture of Bill Stanley, one of the American Stanley's and the resemblance to my husband is uncanny. I was wondering if you know of any info about the families of Fall River, Massachusetts USA. I would appreciate any info to help in my search. The only living relatives that we know, are hesitant to talk openly about the past. Thanks for any info. Carla Stanley

mamie (BRYER)

Hi Mamie

I found a Census in USA 1920 Justice Precinct 1, Bexar, Texas

It lists Cain Bryer ( Boyer) aged 77 b 1843 England - widowed - Immigration:1854

Richard Bryer aged 48 b 1872 Illinois - married - parents both English would think its Cain son

Marcella Bryer aged 47 b 1873 Illinois- wife of Richard

Pearl Bryer aged 14 b 1906 Texas- daughter

also with them family of Stanley

William B Stanley aged 27 b 1893 Kansas - married- Parents English

Eliza Stanley aged 24 b 1896 Oklahoma - parents from American Illinois

Richard Stanley aged 4 b 1916 Texas

There was talk that Cain was a triplet 3 boys called Cain Abel & Soloman, maybe if you look up the area he was last in 1920 may find a death he also used name Kane and wife was called Ella

I did find this Death Abraham T Bryer died 1 May 1942 Houston Harris Texas- b 1879 aged 63 parents Cain Bryer & Mozella Wharton

buried at Brookside Houston- witness on death certificate was Gladys Wood Bryer

Abel Bryer married Gladys Adleia Dodd daughter of William & Martha Dodd born July 09 1898 Payne County, Oklahoma-died 27 Nov 1955 Cleburne, Johnson County, Texas -Burial 28 Nov 1955 Houston, Harris County, Texas

I don't live in USA so if you can get someone to check Texas records would think you will find them hope this helps

I would love to know about Charles Bryer he married a Buckland girl has to be my family but not sure of her name

Mamie

This is an absolutely wonderful site. Thank you so much for all the work you've put into it.

I found this site by googling my own name. Very interesting stuff, I shall be keeping an eye on it. By the way, I'm in the U.S.

I really appreciate this website. I am a librarian at the Dayton Metro Library in Dayton, Ohio. I am trying to document the Owen and Harriet Stanley Family that arrived in the U.S. in 1856, settled in Troy, Ohio and then bought 55 acres of land for a farm a few miles south near Dayton, Ohio. The 1875 Atlas of Montgomery County lists the Stanley farm along with a Jeffrey farm of 111 acres just north of the Stanley farm.

I have researched the deeds for the farm and burials in the Stanley plot at Woodland Cemetery and will be glad to share that info and other info I have gathered with anyone using this website. Would particularly like to connect with Stanley family members who are related to English immigrants Owen and Harriet, their son Levi and wife Matilda, grandson Levi "Sugar", etc. The Stanley family history is of great interest to local Dayton historians and the general public. Any Stanley photos and further history much appreciated.
