Hi Marc,
Thank you for making contact. I am not on Facebook but my husband is, so should I use that to contact you or carry on on Rootschat?
Regards Anne

Thank you for your interest.  I do have the book you mention and it is very interesting.  I will definitely have a look on Facebook and the photos on Flickr.  As I'm sure you know this family history malarkey can be very frustrating. :)

Could it simply be that the fair was a common meeting up place for an annual family get together?


thank you for your reply, I entirely agree it was a family get together.  I just don't know who in the Manders family was the cousin, given that my Manders didn't seem to leave Lincolnshire until they moved to Hull.  I have traced all of my grandfathers first cousins and they all lived in Hull, so the link is more distant and I think will probably always be a mystery.  Thanks again.

Thank you for that info. I have already bought the Menagerie book and found it fascinating but not helpful in my case. I have read the threads you suggested but am unable to see any links, my Manders all seem to be stuck in North Lincolnshire.  Have re-posted in special interests board ( it's taken me a while to work it out). Again many thanks.

Help!
I am trying to find the link between my family and Manders travelling Menagerie.  It's a common story of not asking the right questions when relatives are still with us!  My grandfather John Manders Stark born in 1911 and lived in Hull.  His mother was Charlotte Ann Manders b 1882 and his grandmother was Mary Ann Manders.
When the  goose fair visited Hull my grandfather always went off to see his Manders cousins.  Mary Ann was born in Barnetby (north Lincolnshire) in 1847, she had 10 siblings and I have traced all of them and their families. I have discovered some great social history but no links to the Menagerie.
Mary Ann's father was John Manders b 1798 in Cadney (north Lincolnshire), again I have followed his siblings to no avail.  His father was Richard b 1765 approx, birthplace not known.  The only record I can find is for a Richard born in Berkswell Warwickshire.  Can anyone shed any light on the familiar story, I have a 13ft scroll! of my records and am willing to share any information. Many thanks :)

Thank you both for that prompt response.  Yes, I had found a Richard born in in Berkswell, Warwick (have even enjoyed a day in the graveyard), but of course there is nothing else to definitely link him to 'my Richard' and the family didn't seem to stray far from the area.
John Maunders born 18/4/1798 (son of Richard) is my 4 times great grandad via his daughter Mary Ann Manders and I have followed everyone's siblings as far as possible to find a crossways link to no avail.  I am trying to find a link between my Maunders and the Manders Menagerie of the 1860's, my grandfather John Manders Stark lived in Hull and when the fair came to town used to go off to visit his Mander cousins who worked there.  It's a classic tale of my mother should have asked more questions when her father was alive :-[. Thanks again and if you need any info re Maunders I may well have it. :)

Family History Beginners Board / Richard Maunders born 1765
« on: Sunday 08 October 17 13:17 BST (UK)  »

Hi everyone
Have spent several years researching the Maunders/Manders and have come to a dead end with Richard.  He was born in 1765 and died in 1821 and is buried at All Saints church in Cadney Lincolnshire. He married in 1793 to a Mary Howden.  If anyone has any info about his place of birth that would be fantastic. :) I have lots of info to share (have a scroll 13ft long!!) Many thanks.
