This book is the first of a five volume study of the early Gypsy families of Great Britain. This volume covers, in detail, the following 34 families, the majority of whom can be traced back in origin to the earliest documented Romany groups in Tudor England:

 

Allen, Arrington, Atkinson, Ayres, Bannister, Bastien, Bates, Brewerton/Brewer, Collins, Davies, Finch and Powell, Fowler, Hilton, Jackson, Johnson, Jones, Woods, Ingrams and Greens, Lawrence, Morgan and Simpson, Nicholls, Parker, Peters, Phillips, Roberts, Robinson and Williams, Scotts and Gregorys, Thompson, White

​

Each family has been traced from the 16th century through to the dawn of the 20th century, through parish records, newspaper reports and various other sources, which are drawn together here to give a complete as possible account of each family and their development.
