Hi there,
I am looking for any information on F.W Oscar Vetter, his wife Rosa and their children. I know that the family were circus artistes and later Music Hall Artistes. F. W Oscar Vetter was born in Berlin, Germany in about 1851. I am not sure when he joined the circus but I know that he married a lady called Rosa Steinbecker and had, according to the 1911 census, seven children. I only know of three children. F W was known as Oscar and he has an entry in Turners' Circus guide. I know that in 1911. Oscar was living in London and was about 59 years old. I have found a death certificate for Oscar in German records for 1918 although not the cause of death, but I cannot find any records for Rosa's death in German or in U.K records. Did they emigrate to another country perhaps? Are there any other circus trapeze artists that I may be related to. I would also like to try and find out the name of their circus act and possibly which circus they belonged to. If anyone has information about this family, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you. KarolynM.
