Hi Gemma

From the marriage certificate do you have an approx year of birth for Amy?  It may help in finding her death.

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.

Hi Gemma

See you are still searching!!!   I still haven't found a death where the birth is 19/08/1908.

There is a Amy Taylor born 23/09/1908
Death Registration  1974 : Sheffield; Volume: 3; Page: 1226

We know she married Frederick Joseph in 1941 - do you have a death for him?....This may give a clue as to where they were living. If not how old is he on the marriage cert as this may help to track it down although there are a lot of deaths with this name!!

Is it possible Frederick died and Amy remarried???

Also from the marriage cert what is Frederick father's name?  Have you managed to find his family on the 1911 census?

Hi,im not sure if you may have already done this but I've not been on this site for a while due to other commitments anyway, I was just going through some old post when I saw yours,just out of interest have you googled the Bertram circus?it shows some info which might give you a little insight,also there is a forum which mentions it.There is also a book  Bertram Mills - The Circus That Travelled by Train: A Pictorial Celebration of 'The Quality Show' (Hardcover)by David Jamieson (Author)
hope this shows you some info or enjoyment to read if you have not already found it.
