Biography
Son of a clergyman, he wrote for various encyclopaedias, etc. He was a student of the Gypsies and their language, and published In Gypsy Tents (1880), Gypsy Folk Tales (1899), and an editor of Borrow's Lavengro (1900). Other works were A Short Border History (1887), Kriegspiel (1896), a novel, and Two Suffolk Friends (his father and Edward Fitzgerald).
He worked with David MacRitchie as editor of the quarterly journal of the Gypsy Lore Society until its dormancy in 1892.
F.H. Groome is perhaps best remembered for his 6-volume Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland which appears in full as part of the The Gazetteer for Scotland, produced by the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and is directly searchable within A Vision of Britain through Time.
