Lord John Sanger's Circus
I am a circus historian currently researching Lord John Sanger's Circus in the 1920s and 30s.
Initially I envisaged a magazine article but the work has grown into enough material for a booklet and even threatens to turn into a full-scale book.
The reason for using the Sanger Family Genealogy Forum is to appeal for information on the generation of Sangers which
followed the eleven sons and daughters of John Sanger ll and Rebecca Pinder, the four sons and daughters of Lavinia Sanger and Peter Hoffmann, the son and daughter of George Sanger and Georgina Coleman and the five sons and daughters of James and Babs Pinder. Is there already in existence a family tree showing this next generation? I would also be especially delighted to discover photos of them in their circus costumes ready to appear in the ring.
I am also interested to learn if any Sanger descendants have paintings by Fred Elwell or Lucy Kemp-Welch in their collections? Both artists painted several scenes of Lord John Sanger's Circus but they do not appear to be on public display anywhere.
