Dennard is one of the rarer surnames to be found in Britain's Romany Gypsy community. This new book is therefore likely to be the first ever to document the history of this family and the associated families who travelled and intermarried with them. Very much "south country" Travellers, the Dennards' journeys took them from Kent to Sussex via Surrey and South London. It covers generations from the 18th to the mid-20th century.
