No I am talking about my Uncle Joseph Soutter he was a ring master and a clown in the circus for 20 years. Or so I am led to believe. I would like if anyone can tell me where or if there are records of staff during the 20's, 30,s and 40's.
I have photos of my grandfather with a horse and on a moon.

Hi
My Grand Uncle Roy Giles (Eric Royston Giles) Was a wirewalker. He eventually went to America to work in the movies. I only have a headshot of him. The Giles' were in Beechworth and Rutherglen Victoria also maybe they knew the Wirths from there. I would love to find out more info. He had a sister that was a dancer and acrobat also. I know family photos were passed down but I do not know who now has them. How is the Giles related to your tree?
