Ann, if they were Smith's from the Oxon/Warks border I may be able to help you but I have nothing on Dudley, and no Kensey's. Have you tried these free sites: Romany Road, Romanygenes, Journeyfolki, or Romany Roots? Rootsweb have some threads about gypsies too. |

PS: There were Smiths in the Leamington Spa area too, my husbands 2nd cousin married into them. So far I havent found a link to my Smiths, who were on the Warks/Oxon border. |
