Jay (Jacqueline) Gage's success story

I have been searching for many months for a connection between my family, and the family of George Sanger, of Sangers Circus. As my family are also circus people, we are not the easiest to trace, and all documented information on the Sangers show only a first marriage to Ellen (George Sangers granddaughter) and not to my great uncle, Henry Moxon. I have trawled books, websites, circus history organisations, talked to many people from different circuses, and none of them could definately confirm this connection, although several remembered Henry and Ellen together. After just a week of being on this site, I have had the luck to make contact with fantastic lady who managed to help me trace the details of the marriage between Henry and Ellen, and I can now go ahead and get a copy of the marriage certificate, and thus continue building my tree. I cannot say how happy I am to finally have solved this mystery, and to enable Henry and Ellens marriage to be properly documented!
