On the census she is Amy Peers but BMD and birth certificate she was Emma Peers. She was born 19 Aug 1908 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Apparently my mum recalls my nan saying something about her not being a performer and she eventually married Frederick who put up the tents. Have no idea where to go next!!! My mum is 90% sure it was Bertram's circus and apparently my nan went to Torquay to meet her sometime between 1950-1960.

Thanks so much for your help.

I've just got the marriage certificate through and it is the correct one. Amy Peers married Frederick Joseph Peers on 2 Aug 1941. His occupation stated he was a gunner with the royal artillery and his number but also had next to this in brackets that he was a circus tent man! I'm so chuffed. Now I'm jsut trying to find out when she died - I've searched through all of the BMD and got some possibilities so will start to send off for death certificates of possibles.

Thanks for the advice - never would have got that if you didn't post.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so so much - I'm going to send for the marriage certificate to see whether it is the same one. I've spent absolutely ages trying to find a trace of her and came up with nothing so it's worth a shot.

Thank you once again and I'll let you know what I find out!

Yes I have and haven't turned anything up. I've even trawled through all of the death indexes one by one to try and locate a Lavinia Peers in them and can't find any record of her death.

I am trying to gather any information about my nan's mum. From my nan's memory she was a part of Bertram's circus and this would have been after 1931 as my nan was born then. Her name on the birth certificate I have for her is Annie Lizzie Peers but on my nan's brother's birth certificate it is Amy Peers. My nan also has a bit of information that was passed to her that she married a man with the surname Taylor.

Annie LIzzie was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire in 1906. Her mum was Lavinia (although this spelling is listed many different times as being different, from Linvine to Lovinia etc etc) and her father was Frederick Charles Peers. She had a sister called Violet May Peers and a brother called George Peers.

Any information I desperately need and any advice - I seem to have been searching for ages. I can't find out when she died or if she married as I don't know the year but also the place as Betram's was a travelling circus and so the location could have been anywhere!

Any advice greatfully received,

Gemma  ::)

Hi

My name is Gemma and my gran's mum was called Annie Lizzie Peers (although she is named as Amy on my gran's birth certificate.) She was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire in 1906. The reason I'm posting here is that my nan recalls something about her marrying a man with the surname Taylor. I was wondering if there were any links to any of the Taylors you are talking about as I know she 'ran away with the circus' as my nan put it. I think it was Bertram's circus but my nan's memory is not what it once was.

Sorry if there is no link to waste your time.

Hi

I'm desperately trying to find out more information about my Gran's mum. Her name was Annie Lizzie Peers but on my nan's birth certificate she is named as Amy Peers. My nan was told that she ran away with the circus and my nan is under the impression it was Bertram's circus. She also was told that she got together with (not sure if she married) someone called Taylor (not sure of the spelling). It would have been after 1931 as my nan was born then.

How do I find out this information? I've been trying for ages to get information about her. She was born in Doncaster, in 1906. I'm not sure if she emigrated or anything  but I'm trying to trace her through the circus/Bertram's link. She was spotted by my nan once in Torquay when the circus was there.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful!!

A very desperate Gemma!!
