Hi Kay
So pleased you have got in touch with me as we are actually related. Our mothers were cousins.
That makes sense that she died in 1957, my mum immigrated with her family to Australia that year when my mum was 17.
My mum Stella is 80 this year. She was born a triplet but one didn’t make it. I also have twins. Mum always said that Nellie ( Ellen) you grandmothers older sister had twins too. Are there any multiple births in your family?
I have the 1911 census too and marriage certificate - have spent a lot of time on ancestry.com but think some of the information may be incorrect. I haven’t looked at it lately.
I would love to chat to you more about the family.
I have a copy of Fred’s article with some photo’s and another article that was in the mirror. I would love copies of the photos you have too.
My email is shberry@bigpond.com
if you contact me
Kind regards
Samantha Berry

Hi joc
Not sure if you still use this thread but it could very well be the same people.  I have done a bit of research and not sure if they are the same people but could be related. Alice and Fred ran the circus and then ran florist shop in deptford. Alice died in the 60's at 92 and Had tatooes. Maybe the alice you are referring to was married to one of her son's .

Hello

Yes it sounds like they may be the same people. I have not been able to confirm Alice's date of death. She was the tattooed lady in the circus and her whole body was covered in tattoos. Do you know if she had tatooes?
Her youngest son was Alfred - was it him living in the house next door?
Thank you
Sam
