Alfred Eugene Fenton

Alan,

This is wonderful - I have forwarded the information you have supplied to Alfred Eugene Fenton's daughter. She will be over the moon, as she had been searching for information about her father's family for several years.

Thanks so much

Halo! Halo! Halo!

WOW!!!!

Astounding and well researched....and interesting,too!

I'll be reading this again tomorrow to absorb more details.

Well done,Alan!
..........
Just as an aside-when I was looking for any addresses on Gillbridge in the British Newspapers I kept coming up with odd adverts like (making this up) Mme. Zelda has a horse, three acrobats and a flying trapeze.

Hello

I know this post is a couple years old now but just wanted to get involved and thank you for researching all this, to has been immensely helpful. I am doing a university project at the moment searching my family line. Florence Fenton/Atkinson is my great great grandmother and her brothers were louis and alba, aka the flying zetties. I have a wonderful photo of them in all their circus gear but would be keen to find out more/unearth more photographs/posters/adverts

best

Hi

I hope some of you are still active on this site especially on this chat. My grandmother was Lily Nair (Fenton), we used to ask her about her family and she used to say she didn’t know who she was because she didn’t have a birth certificate. She believed she was Fenton but I have just found out tonight she was registered as Nair in Middlesbrough the same as the death registration for her father Albert in 1914 in Middlesbrough . She told us that her mother was a bare back rider in the circus so that matches up with the family. I just want to know the link between her and Albert and Ada Fenton/Nair?? If anyone can help with this confusing family tree that would be much appreciated... and if anyone has any photos that would be great. I have photographs of my Nana's 2 brothers, Eugene and Elba.

Hi Nicola and Alice

Many apologies for my very delayed reply, my fault entirely as I do not check my 'new replies' very often (if at all!!).

I started the thread for a lady who had contacted me via work but I don't seem to have her email details anymore. However, I will keep trawling through my 'archived' mail as I don't normally delete family history related mail.

If I find her address, I will sent you both a personal message with her contact details

best of luck with you searches

Sue
