Fairground families in Pembrokeshire
« on: Thursday 13 September 12 20:49 BST (UK) »
I am researching Fairground families who would have visited Saundersfoot and area in Pembrokeshire. I have heard of the Danter and Studts families and would like any info on them and on any other fairground families visiting this area. Thanks.

Have you tried the National Fairground Archive

or the Showman's Guild

Hi Beca

Newspapers are always an excellent source for fairground people.

Take a look at 'The Era' - which covered the world of entertainment – at the British Newspaper Archive site:
www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk

From 1904, there's also 'World's Fair'. But that's not online or name-indexed yet.

Best wishes
