circus folk are not on the normal census records as they where classed travellers so they had a seperate census done which includes fairground gypse hawkers and general travelleres

Hi,  Sorry to tell you this but I have spent the past ten years reseaching my family and there is not a seperate census for anyone. One Census done every ten years but what is different is that you will find them living in Tent/Caravans/in Pub Yards/and Lanes.  The address is shown next to the nearest house.  A good example of this is my Lee family from Kent: 1861 Census living under Tent.  Just keep looking but most of the research has been done by Pauline from Canada and there are many links onto her site. Maybe you have found this index of hers - as it done for Circus/Fair/Gypsy folk and was on the Galloper Site for many years - also there was a site called Passing Through (I gave both sites each others details and they linked up) which listed Gypsy census info. 

I am at the moment trying to put all my information into a readable search - do contact me if you any of the interests below could cross over with your research.

Hello Copeland.
My aunt (who was known by a number of names) worked with the Wallendas in 1934 and 1935 whilst they were with Bertram Mills circus. She was known as Winifred Innes Smith,Judith Innes Lloyd, Judith Innes Gordon and Judith Lloyd. She married Phillip Kries  on 21st October, 1934, in Oxford whilst the circus was in Oxford, and they were photographed riding one of the elephants in the circus parade. Phillip Kreis was one of the Wallenda artistes.
Have you got any further information re the Wallendas of that time? She and Phillip travelled to Germany and joined Circus Gleich, but she and Phillip divorced shortly afterwards. I would be grateful for anything that you could tell me.
Thank you.

Hello Copeland

I would be grateful if you could tell me anything about Leonard and Annie Mitchell - he was a circus musician in Lincolnshire in 1901, and she was a 'circus performer.' I d not think they were from traveller families. I see that Sanger's circus was in Grantham at the time.

Many thanks

I have found out on 1891 census that Caroline Pauls (mother ) married again to a Horatio Lewis living with daughter Caroline and son Frank Paulo and 2 of Horatio's daughters at St Philip in Barton Regis but i can't find the father Henry, Gracy, or son Henry. No record on any census for any of them anywhere till 1901 census when she was married to my grandad William Joseph Peach. Cant find any marriage details of any or births am really stuck so would be grateful for any help thankyou

You should post this query over at www.fun-fairs.co.uk/forum/index.ph (go to the CIRCUS forum) as I'm sure Tom Sandow or David Konyot would set you straight on the Paulos and answer some of your questions ? Good Luck  Smiley
