Gypsies in the FoD during 1800s - Forest of Dean FHT Forum

Found a note on the parish records (burial in 1873 in Drybrook) saying Ambrose Dickson was a gypsy living on Plump Hill at time of death. As he is my direct line I would like to pursue this further.

Any ideas how to research a gypsy line with Forest connections?
