The Lighter Side / My Great Grand Mother was Matilda Newsome and Had a Travelling Fairground
« on: Tuesday 10 April 18 12:40 BST (UK) »
My Later Mother was always telling me about her Grandmother Matilda Newsome.
The Newsomes I was told, had a large Travelling Fairground based around Darlington where we were all born. This must have been around the turn of the century, as my Mother was born in 1912. Does anyone know anything about the Newsomes?
Do the current Newsomes have a fairground, Mum used to tell me there were a lot of Travellers associated with the Newsomes as well.
Any information would be very much appreciated.
