Travelling People / advice needed regarding my ancestors

« on: Wednesday 16 February 11 23:00 GMT (UK) »

Hi
i am looking for some advice on were to look or start my research
my mum also said that my family were involved in the circus
but i had no proof
my G G Grandfather John Bowen b 1842 was a travelling tailor by trade
he had children born all over ireland, england and wales
he and his wife seem to have settled in birmingham in about 1870ish
but i have recently found his oldest son also John Bowen b1866
0n the 1901 censes
RG13; Piece: 5005; Folio: 66; Page: 13
he is listed as 1 Travelling Van On Navigation Ground
On the census return John is shown as 'own account' re employment,
whereas the others in the travelling vans were either 'worker' or
'employer'. Why? And, can you decipher what is written over 'travelling
showman'.
is their records to see which show or circus this may have been or were is my best bet to find out more
i can see a William Hagger and a Daniel Lane also travelling with him
