Travelling People / Bibby Bros Circus
« on: Sunday 29 May 11 12:48 BST (UK) »
Hello,
my family migrated from the UK to Australia and New Zealand in the 1890s
They started a small circus and called it Bibby Bros Circus and Buckjump Show.
I do not know if they were in showbusiness in the UK or just decided to start a circus in Australia.
Any info would be a great help.
My grand fathers name was Emerys Albert Bibby also known as Bert Bibby.
He had two brothers Ted and Jack. There was also a Lionel Bibby that did a sharpshooting act.
He was with the circus but I do not know how he was related.
I think my Great Grand fathers name was John Bibby.
I was told that we still have relatives in the UK called Bibby that are still in showbusines.
Regards,
Gary Brophy
