Of flying pigs fame.
If anyone is still on here with any information about Reuben please come back to me.
He was either my Grandad or Great Grandad!

Hi there!
I know this is an old post, but I have only just joined it.
My name is John Williams, I am an ex Midland Showman from the Williams family that started back in 1786 as Showmen.
Robert Williams is my ancester, he was also the starting point of Randall Williams although i'm off a different line.
Moving on to Reuben Holdsworth, of Flying Pigs fame! he was my Great Grandfather.
Although i have never met him he was long gone before I was born.
My father was John Williams, and this was my Grandfathers name aswell.
My Grandfather John married Reudens daughter Evelyn.
My Great grandmother died in child birth!
This is as much as I know, can anyone please help?
Regards
John Henry Williams
