Lovell gypsies
I'm trying to find out if my branch of the Lovell family is connected to gypsies.
My great grandmother Lily used to say "We all look like gypsies..." and now I discover that Lovell was a name taken by Romanys!
Lily was the daughter of Allan Lovell, co-founder of Lovell's Confectionery in Pontypool/Newport, and I have heard that someone thinks that there's a connection - but as yet know no more.
I've been to other websites, but again, no joy in discovering the truth.
Does anyone out there know if there's a connection to the Lovell gypsies? My tree goes back to the 1700s on the Lovell line, so if you need any more names, I may have them...
Thanks
Mel
