Hi there! Does anybody have any info at all on the Glissens. Duoble act. Clown/Illusionist/Tight rope/Acrobat man and wife duoble act. Performing in Theatres and circuses, particularly Roberts Brothers Circus. Known to have lived in Nottingham post WW2 and South Africa. Christian names Ethel and Emil . Surname maybe Semner.

You could always try contacting Bobby Roberts' through his website bobby-roberts.co.uk/ [www in front] (or easily found by google) - his family ran Robert Bros Circus ..... Or you could try circusfriends.co.uk/ [www in front] where they have a library and hold archives of British Circus Memorabilia.
hope this helps in some way.
