Looking for info about my Great grandfather Charles Cornell,also known as Pete and Kilgouri, who came to the UK in about 1890 possibley with Barnums Circus. He was born in Danbury CT about 1862 to Henry & Amanda Cornell.Henry may of had a brother called Theodore living in Danbury. Found in 1880 census in New Haven with brother Frederick and sister Isabel.Having almost finished researching the UK side of the family, now looking for the American connections.

Regards
Lewella
