Thomas Taylor - Travelling Showman

Hello,
I have links to Thomas Taylor who had a Boxing Booth which went around the various fairs of the UK at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.

Thomas seems to have been born in Liverpool though at one point he lived in Newport in Gwent and Cheltenham. He was originally married to Rachel Selina Jane Davies of Hereford and died in December 1945 in Hereford where he is buried. His mother was Sarah Taylor. Tom also had a scrap metal business in Cheltenham.

I believe that a few famous boxers of the period fought at Tom's booth and I also believe that he was linked in some way to Ronnie Taylor's boxing booths though how exactly I cannot fathom at this stage.

Does any of this strike a chord with anyone?

Thanks

Dan
