Circus, London 1918-1925?

[somerstown]

Google has not come up with much, but are there on line records available to find out what circuses were in London 1918-1935 please? Also are there archives giving records of their employees? (I doubt it)

I am trying to trace info on a person who is rumoured to have worked in a circus boxing booth at some period during this time, but so far only have hear/say.

I don't suppose for one minute that they would keep records of employees as most were drifters etc

Much as I thought Peter. Though I wondered if for insurance purposes there would be records. Or if perhaps something like Billy Smart's circus if they would keep archives.
I guess there is nowhere to go with this one?

Have you tried searching the name in the British Newspaper Archive?
