Berks FHS Family Historian) Sep 2000 O What a Circus (2376 words)
According to his own account, George Sanger was born on 23rd December 1827, in Newbury because it was the circus rest season and his parents had returned to the town where they had relatives in the fruit and vegetable trade market.
George always said, and repeated it to Queen Victoria no less, that he had his first professional engagement on the day of her coronation, 24th June 1838, when he acted as 'patterer' for Malabar the juggler.
George's brother John died at Ipswich in 1889 and was buried in Margate Cemetery under a magnificent statue of a horse in mourning and this became the Sanger family graveyard.
