20th Century Circus Shows

AT THE PRESENT TIME I'm busy working on the companion volume to 'Twentieth Century Circus People' (Lingdales Press, Formby, 2003) to be titled 'Twentieth Century Circus Shows'.  This will consist of an alphabetical list of circuses by the proprietor's name, e.g. Ada Alexandra, or fixed location circuses, e.g. Kelvin Hall, Glasgow.  Under each heading I shall give brief biographical information about the proprietor and list all the (locations), dates, associated artistes, dates and other details which I have collected about the show, together with the source of the information.  I give a sample of the how the listing will work, beginning with Ada Alexandra's circus; -

ALEXANDRA’S CIRCUS. Ada Alexandra was an equestrienne, in the 1880s, later becoming a proprietor. Ada Alexandra Knight, daughter of George Knight. Gave her name to "Ada Alexandra's Mammoth Circus and Menagerie". Married David 'Tayleure'. Her circus was sold up in 1910. Daughter Hetty married a Mr. Miller, later marrying Carlos Mier.

Alexandra's American Circus, Alexandra, Ada, at Berkhampstead, 2/11/1900. Two performances. The Showman, 12/1900, p.56, col.2.

Alexandra's American Circus, opened at Tonypandy, Wales, in October 1901, for a season, later visiting Knighton, giving excellent performances. Paid a one day visit to Droitwich, in November 1901. The Showman, 18/10/1901, p.89, col.2; ibid, 1/11/1901, p.120, col.2; ibid, 15/11/1901, p.153, col.2; King Pole, Winter 1957-58, p.16, col.1.

Alexandra's Circus, at Abertillery, Monmouthshire, Wales, 04/1906. Boy aged 10 killed when tent blew down. World's Fair, 7/04/1906, p.4, col.2.

Alexandra's Hippodrome, at Winchester (Roebuck Field). 27/6/1906. World's Fair, 28/7/1906, p.1, col.1.

Alexandra's Circus, at Hastings, 24/7/1906. After a day at Bexhill. World's Fair, 7/7/1906, p.4, col.1.

Alexandra's Circus, at Walsham, 14/9/1906. Cruelty to horses charge, against four grooms, dismissed. World's Fair, 29/9/1906.

Taylor and Alexandra's Circus, at Broadstairs, 14/8/1907. Death. World's Fair, 17/8/1907.

I would be interested in your comments on this project.  How useful would it be for people interested in circus hidstory, family history, etc.  There are about six thousand entried in my circus locations database, covering the 1901-1950 period, and I am wondering if the inclusion of sources is important.  Do let me know what you think!  John.

Hello again John.

Could you please tell me where I could get a copy of 'Twentieth Century Circus People'?

You also mentioned you have a website?

My 'Twentieth Century Circus People, 1901-1950' (2003) did not find a commercial publisher. So I published it myself! I have now found a photoshop which photocopies the pages (back to back, of course) and binds them hardback with attractive dust-wrapper for £85. Expensive, I know, but less than the first twenty which cost £125 each. P & P free in the U.K. Let me know if you are interested! Copies are available in all the legal deposit (copyright) libraries and you can borrow it through the Public Library system, on interlibrary loan. My local branch (Formby) has a copy! Best wishes, John Turner.

John, I don't suppose you'd ever consider selling any (all?) your wonderful books on CD ? You could burn them yourself, they would be cheap and easy to post and I'm sure they'd sell like hotcakes
