Hi
My partners grandfather and his brothers were part of a troupe called the fighting fieldings that used to box professionally in the early 1920's. There were 5 of them - Jack (John), Joe, George, Sid and Bob.
Their father William and his brother Joseph were bare knuckle fighters and it is these 2 I am trying to trace. Although William lived in North Wales from at least 1910 we think they may have been born in Manchester or Stockport but may have moved to North Wales. William remained in Wales and died there but we believe Joseph went to America and possibly died in South Africa. Joseph was the elder of the two.
Does anyone know anything about them?
