Hi Pat

Wow what amazing information!

When we lived in Barnsley, we lived in Dodworth!   My father's birth place with near Stairfoot roundabout in a caravan on the Gypsy site. I have a few photos.

My fathers parents had a few rides on the fair, including speedway (which I think is like the waltzers), hook a duck plus a few more.

I'm trying to find out from my uncles if Charles, 1889 was a relation. 

Thanks, Sam

Hi Dorcus

Sorry, I put the wrong name, my Great Grandad Jabez Batty was married to Julia Batty.

I'm trying to find snippets of information from family :-)

Hi Sarah, thank you :-)

Hi Dorcus

I'm still very early in doing my family tree so still finding things out.  My maiden name is Batty. A lot of my family still live in Barnsley.  My Grandparents were Charles and Ivy Batty.  My grandad Charles, his father was Jabez Batty and married to Annie/Ann Batty.   Jabez father was also Jabez, and I think this is where we may be related :-)

My Dad and his 3 brothers were born whilst travelling with the fair. When my Mum met my Dad, they were living in caravan's (1965)
