Post from Kate Besley
Good morning!
I am from New Zealand and was wondering if you would know or any of our members would know of anyone who may have a private collection of the Harmston Circus? This was my grandmother's mother's family circus. It started with her grandfather William Batty Harmston.
Also, does anyone know of a Richard Bell who took over the circus in 1935 in Japan?
I have been researching most of my life now. Have previously traveled to follow their trails (before COVID). They were very close to very old circus names: Fredricks, Ginnett’s, Eldred, Pinder, Bell, Chirinis.
Appreciate your help.
Kind regards
Kate Besley
