One of my grandfathers so many times 'great' was the Beadle in the Parish of Bexley. Now that brings to mind Mr Bumble in Oliver Twist.
This was 18/19th centuries and he died in 1825. I hope he was a kind man. I'm too frightnened to even think about digging deeper.

I wonder if the man filling in the census raised an eyebrow at that ?

My great grandad ran away with a circus in 1876. But the police made him bring it back!!

So Dave_g would you be any relation to Tommy McQue who I think lived around the Carlton Road area in the sixties.

I went to St Hugh's school with Tommy and Timmy his brother in the middle 60's.
Timmy won an ABA TITLE for boxing and his other brother Charlie McHugh was a mate as well.
They did live top of Carlton Road, his mum was tiny and took no messing, i lived in Elmswood Road then and Timmy always came to my house dinner time.

What age would they have been about '61, I remember having a fight with a McHugh in the grounds of St Josephs at the top end of Dingle rd. I was pretty sure it was Tommy.

Forgot to reply to this ages ago. Hope you see it mrallen.

Could the circus have been Buffalo Bill's circus. He came to UK and was in Birkenhead (and New Brighton I think) around that time. It could be fun trying to find out! Good luck.
