Hi Kaye The only person I know who is pretty good on circuses is Paul Newman <A HREF="http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~paulln/index.htm">Circus, Theatre and Music Hall families research resources.</A> NOT THE Paul Newman ~ but a very very nice guy indeed, who might be of some help ~ check out his web site,and I hope you have some luck. If not, well you are in the best place if he went to Australia!! Happy Hunting Lauren
