Hi Catherine, I too am quite excited. Found your post a while back and have spoken to my family (Harris) and we had no idea that the family may have been Gypsies, would love to know what you have been told. I am related to John and Elizabeth through their son James who after working in the Iron industry in Tipton Staffordshire went on to become a General Merchant (Coal, Iron, Scrap metal) working along the Canal Network from his home in Phoenix Street West Bromwich Staffordshire, just a short journey from Tipton. I don't know anything about Elizabeth or John unfortunately, I did post an inquiry on the forum asking about Elizabeth Collins and did get some information but wasn't sure if it fitted. Melissa
