I am new to this site  and  relatively new to family history - first post- and not sure where I should be looking. I am all over the place with my research and have so many qyuestions.  My ggma was Louisa Dakin from West Derby in Liverpool and ggdad was john castle from who knows where. i cant match him to any databases.  Grandad was Percy John Castle aka Valroy. Time frame would be 1880-1938.

grandparents were entertainers who spent time working with the circus but I don't know which one. I get the impression that they were 'all rounders' in the business- theatre, music hall , circus. My ggma did a strong woman act and a mind reading act and my granddad was a musician and ventriloquist. He used to play drums for the circus.   his father ( my great granddad) ran away with the circus when it came to his town. Maybe this is where he met ggma.

I contacted the circuses a while back but got no answers to my mail.

Thank you all
