Thank you. Will check if there’s any connection to the Hall family. I know Thomas Hall(1851)was a hawker in 1891 and then involved in the fairs. The kids in the photo are also in another family at the fair.

Many thanks for your reply.
I do have some more photos of relatives that are outside their wagon so will certainly look at the site you have recommended. They came from Lancashire but obviously spent time in Wales at the Wrexham fair.

A first post in here for me.
Great great grandfather Thomas Hall(b1851 Warrington,lancs) was showman. Have photos of his daughter and grand daughter with the wagons that they lived in and also the Victorian fair.
I have a photo and trying to figure person on it through name- I’m presuming it was only the male that would have initials on a wagon? Would a widow have their initial?
As seen in photo- ME**AM or maybe ME***AM
Can anyone offer advice please for deciphering name? Manythanks
I’ve tried to attach photo!

Thank you- where would I look for the newspaper articles?
I couldn’t see J Wood in the 1829 directory under coopers?

Family History Beginners Board / Benjamin Wood

Benjamin Wood 1811? - 1867. Lived in Lee Croft Rd, Sheffield in 1841 census. Trade was a Cooper and I’m assuming his father would also be a cooper.  Cannot find who is father is as it’s such a common name. Was thinking that if I found another Wood that was a Cooper, it may be his father. However, Sheffield trade directory 1829 registers Benjamin but no others with surname Wood.
Can anyone suggest another way of trying to find his parents? Thanks
