Travelling Showmen Vinegar Hill Fairs 1900's
« on: Friday 29 November 19 14:12 GMT (UK) »
It appears my early family of Irish travelling Showmen (Connacht Bazaar) would most likely have attended the Vinegar Hill Fairs in Glasgow early to mid 1900's, does anyone know how I might get confirmation. Many thanks

Not a direct answer to your question I'm afraid but maybe of interest
