Thanks for the info.

I don't know anything beyond the 1901 census where John BEDWORTH is a
coachbuilder.

I believe BEDWORTHS still live in Lancashire as I am in touch with a distant
relative in W Australia.
She told me that one of John's daughters - Kate worked in Bertram Mills
circus & married an elephant trainer. I have more up to date info on this.

So there may be a link to the fairground makers via the circus??

So circuses - yes, greengroceers - no.
