Thread Name: The Gypsie Laddies 500th Anniversary ??
Subject: RE: The Gypsie Laddies 500th Anniversary ??
The article in Chambers states---the colony of gypsies long
established in Yetholm,Roxburghshire,always claimed to be of
the same stock with the Faws or Falls, a family of respectability
settled in East Lothian[North of Yetholm].
As a mere hewer of wood &[at present,literally] drawer of water,
{the well,the source of our water supply never freezes,feeds to
the house by a pipe which runs under a tarmac road & this pipe
has been frozen for 10 days],I do not have the know- how or
resources to access the ancient records.
Some of you folks out there may be better able to do this.
Joe.
