Charles Bibb..Equestrian Clown ?
« on: Tuesday 08 April 08 18:59 BST (UK) »
Has anyone come across this chap by any chance ? He was born in Birmingham 1834 ish.  On the 1861 census he is aged 25, & a lodger in Sheffield.  By the 1871 census he is back in Birmingham, staying with his parents, he & his sister Rosanna Bibb (17 ) are said to be Clown/Actors.    Any info will be much appreciated...
Regards,
Margaret.

There are several Bibbys mentioned on this site, no Bibbs but Bibbys aplenty. There are quite a few from Essex I think.
