Individual Details

Samuel was a member - and perhaps founder - of a travelling circus, Farrells Circus, also known as Uncle Sammy's Circus. The 1901 census of Ireland tells us Samuel was of the Church of Ireland faith, while Esther was Catholic.

Samuel was killed at the age of 75 when an army plane crashed into his caravan.
