Ada Boswell, Layton Cemetery, Blackpool #6


'In loving Memory of
ADA,
THE BELOVED WIFE OF
TOBIAS BOSWELL,
OF SOUTH SHORE.
WHO DIED MAY 11TH 1901.
AGED 48 YEARS.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
QUEEN OF THE GIPSIES.
ALSO OF THE ABOVE
TOBIAS BOSWELL,
WHO DIED APRIL 5TH 1908,
AGED 52 YEARS.'

I have almost no information on 'The Queen of the Gipsies', least of all why she was so called.

Many thanks to The Friends of Layton Cemetery for their amazingly enthusiastic help with all our grave enquiries.
