Hi I live in England my family lineage includes Stanley's & Buckland's but also many more romany families,
I Know that my Great-Great-Grandfather Tenett Buckland came to USA in 1886 and settled there with most of his family, the family went backwards and forwards many times to USA, His son Nelson Buckland ( my Great-Grandfather) came back to England and settled in Devonshire, where my Grandfather married Pheobe Stanley in 1908, her father was William Stanley son of Richard & Ellen Stanley
Now in 1856 on the SS Kangaroo many Stanley's travelled ( totalled 33) from Liverpool to New York , there were 3 brother's & their families James & Unity Stanley Richard & Ellen Stanley & Thos & Betsey Stanley with them also went my Great-Great-Uncle Plato Buckland ( brother of Tenett)
all these Stanley's had children who have married into Buckland family ( 1st cousins)
I have a lot of information about family
What I am trying to find out is this : anything about my BUCKLAND family, but also that in 1904 on Carpathia the family for the last time returned again to USA, now on this ship log they say they are all going to see Betsey Wells on a farm in Dayton Ohio , I know nothing about her only that she is either a daughter and sister to the Buckland family on ship.
can anyone help me here?
I can do look ups in Uk if anyone wants help

Our Historical Society Program this past Monday was about all the people buried at Woodland Cemetery and Matilda Stanley was one. I was looking around for more info about Matilda, the Queen, when I got home. Maybe the narrator of the program could help you, and give you the names of other family members buried there; they have a website and her name is Diane Pesut. She told us about the thousands of people who were notified and came to the stanley's funeral walking 9 miles from Troy in the rain wearing bright colors, including, who was it - Queen Victoria? ? Amazing. Dayton just has so much incredible history, and a lot of it is in Woodland Cemetery. Diane is very neat and would be thrilled to hear from a family member connected to the Stanley's. Her contact info is on the Woodland Cemetery website, Dayton, Ohio, or, my phone book says: Woodland Mausoleum Ofc., 118 Woodland Ave., Dayton, Ohio 45409, phone # 937-222-1431. I think it's great when people are reading sites like this to make the connections!

My grandmother, Bertha Buchert, was born in Portsmouth Ohio in 1875.
Family tradition always said Grandmother was born a "Gypsy" and was taken by others to raise.
I showed a photo of her to a professor from the University of Texas, Dr. Ian Hancock, a famous authority on Gypsies. He immediately identified my grandmother as a member of the Stanley Clan. I had not said she was from Ohio.
Anyone have any other info for me?

I have posted some family tree information on the website www.werelate.org about the Stanley family and the Gypsies of the Miami Valley. See the finding guide for materials at the Dayton Metro Library:
http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Gypsies_in_the_Miami_Valley_of_Ohio_Research_Guide .
We Relate is a wiki site, which means that people can collaborate on a family tree online. Add your Stanley line to the material I have posted there, and correct any mistakes I may have made.
This is a question we get fairly often at the library. Since there were so many children born to the family, quite a few descendants have done research at our library.

I am of Gypsy decedent: Blount and Worten is my Mother & Grandmother' names. I understand my Grandmother was born in Monks Corner, S. C.. I am at a lost as to were to start. I was told as a child, that her family came from Romani; and she was told that her people came from Egypt and were murder along with the Jews. Her families left along with the jews and she was told of how they help the Jews with different trades. She understands that some Gypsies stay in Israel. I don't know anymore than this. She and my Mother are deceased; they are buried in Waycross, Ga. in the Greenland cemetary. I have more relatives that are of Gypsy's race and are buried in Waycross.Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This article appeared in the Dayton Daily News, May 10, 1931
When Dayton was the Home of the Gypsies
By Howard Burba
This article in places is incorrect where it states Mrs Stanley/Jefferies was daughter in law to Owen Stanley is not correct
She was Amelia Stanley and married Thomas Jeffery/Jefferies her mother was Elizabeth Smith they all came from England, both Amelia & Thomas died in 1877
I am related to this family :
Amelia was buried in the Stanley plot as are nearly all Stanley family, but it was because somehow Elizabeth Smith links to Owen Stanley, my theroy is she could be his sister ( not proved)or married to a brother of Owen and maybe that is why Amelia took surname of Stanley after her father
Its possible Elizabeth remarried to a Smith?
This would make Amelia Owen's niece either way
I would really like to know if anyone can add to this

Sandy.... have you seen this? Not likely to be much more than this in the actual paper, considering how early it is, but I'll look if you want me to! I assume you likely haven't been to Woodland cemetery if you live in England? Has anyone sent you photos of the Stanley graves?
Oh... this entry is from www.daytonmetrolibrary.org... searching for Stanley, or keyword = gypsy or gypsies turns up a lot of stuff...
Obituary Search Results
Name Newspaper Date Citation Note
Aunt Mary Smith Dayton Daily Journal August 1, 1879 v. XVII, iss. 5 : pg. 4, col. 3 age: 112, gypsy, born England 1859, mother of Amelia Jeffery, 21 children, Woodland Cemetery

Hi Steve
I have not yet been to USA ,but I am in contact with several of family linked to Stanley and others .
I have seen photos of graves yes
Regarding Elizabeth Smith,I have seen that article too and have this to add: can't remember where I found it
I presume Dr Berger must be a reglious man not medical
quotes from newspapers:
Dr. Berger, speaking to the historical society, recalled some of the other gypsy funerals he had conducted. On Palm Sunday in 1877 he held a triple funeral. After a brief illness, Mrs. Amelia Jeffrey died at her farm home just north of Dayton. Her husband, Thomas, who was in perfect health, was so grief-stricken that he simply went to bed and died within two days. The family ordered two expensive caskets and the baby, whose birth was the cause of the mother's death, was laid beside her in the casket.
1879 Aug.1st Mrs. Mary Smith died at the age of 110 or perhaps even older. She had been born in England and lived there under the reigns of four different sovereigns: The first was George III and the last was Queen Victoria.This is what Dr Berger said about her:'No one who saw this venerable woman in her later years,' wrote Berger, could be disposed to doubt the fact of her extraordinary age, so deeply marked was she in all her lineaments by the hand of the great sculptor Time.
I found a census record that shows family in Montgomery, Dayton, Ohio 1870
Thomas Jeffrey 40 b 1830 England Horse Dealer
Amelia 35 b 1835 England
William 14 b 1856 England
Mary 12 b 1857 North Carolina
Marilla 11 b 1859 Pennsylvania
Leonard 7 b 1864 England
Sampson 9 ½ b 1869 Tennessee
Mary Smith 89 b 1781 England Lives with daughter
If Mary gave correct date of birth she would have been only 98 when she died in 1879, but then they weren't known for being accurate with dates as they didn't really know when they were born as in years they liked to go by seasons : example "25 winters ago I was born" and had no need of getting a certificate back then,so it could be that she looked so old that no one really knew for sure.
Again it seems abit far fetch to say 21 children ,but as I don't know much about her or her children I cannot say

Sandy and Steve, I recently got in touch with Shawna at the DAyotn Library and shared with her what I had compiled on my direct Stanely line to add to the Stnaley file. I left contac tinformation with Shawna if anyone is interested. Shawna also has sent me copies of anything related to the Stanely Family as of last week. Shawna is great and is doing a great service by keeping whatever information shared in a single file. I hope by me sharing the information with the library it helps other researches for a start.

For Sandy58
Hello Sandy, my maiden name was Stanley and I am originally from Devon. My great grandparents were James Stanley and Unity Stanley (nee Wells). I note with interest your reference to your grandmother Phoebe Stanley. As you mentioned, she was the daugher of William Stanley but I believe he was the son of James and Unity not Richard and Ellen. William was brother to my great grandfather Henry Stanley. Richard and James were brothers. I have details of both families from the 1881 Census, both in Devon. I also have a copy of the marriage certificate for your grandparents Jim (James) Buckland and Phoebe Stanley together with a newspaper article from the Paignton Western Guardian dated July 16th 1908. I don't know if you have a copy of the 1881 Census, but living with Richard and Ellen Stanley at the time were Pheobe Buckland 20 (their daughter, born in Somerset) and John Buckland 22 (son in law, born in America). Most likely related to you. Perhaps you could tell me where you obtained the passenger list from the SS Kangaroo. This is of interest to me as obviously it contains members of my family. As of yet, I have been unable to go back further than my great grandparents James and Unity.
My email address is svr54@hotmail.co.uk if you want to get in touch.

Hi shirley
Wow its great to find a Stanley relation yes we are definately related I know all the names you mention and would love to get in touch
Do you know the name Westlake? James & Unity had a grandson called tha, also married my side Bucklands I will tell you more when we talk I am so excited to have contacted me
Just going through your message I was confused with Pheobe ( Granmother) father, because he turns up with both James & Unity in one census then Richard & Ellen in another both listed as Son as I could not get his birth certificate wasn't sure of parents ,but you have now confirmed it for me thank you
Also Henry his brother your grandfather was on marriage as her uncle so that now makes sense
Regarding John ( Thomas) Buckland & Pheobe with Richard & Ellen yes she was their daughter and John ( Thomas)Buckland was brother to Jim Buckland who married Pheobe - William's daughter.
I have loads about family both sides and would love to get in touch my email is sierra295@hotmail.com
I will send you a message ,but having problems with my Pc at mo so please don't give up on me I really would love to chat with you its great to find a live relation lol especially my grans side

I am looking for information or photos on the Mitchell Family of Gypsies, in particular the family branch that "SONNYM-33" mentioned on Sept 03, 2009
Slatcho Mitchell aka Mike Wilson was the nephew of Emil Mitchell, "KING" of the gypsies, dates vary on when he became king from 1886, 1909, 1910, 1913... until his death in 1942. Emil with his wife Kelly, and Slatcho are buried in Meridian, Mississippi at Rose Hill Cemetery.
Emil's father was Nicholas (died 1909)and his mother was Salomia Mitchell (died 1904) and I have reports stating that they are buried at Woodland Cemetery in Ohio.
Some of Emil's children are: George, John, Russell, Sylva, & Julia.
I have listed for Emil's siblings Flora Mitchell (Buried also at Rose Hill Cemetery), Waso, Vasil and Ephraim.
Any information you have on them would be greatly appreciated.
You can contact me at:

Happy Researching everyone!

Trying to find out more about my family line. Photos or stories would be appreciated. My great grandmother was Caroline Stanley. Records I found said she may have been married previously to a Jeffrey. According to a family tree I saw posted; she is the daughter of Edward Stanley who was married to Eliza Small. Edward Stanely is the son of Richard Owen Stanley who was married to Harriot Worden. Caroline Stanley married my great grandfather Frazier Tracy. Can anyone verify any of this line? Email me at Jaelle043@aol.com.
