Trying to find PEERS

Hi

I'm trying to find any one who can help me trace my nan's family. Her name is Doreen Peers. She had a brother called Ronald Peers but he was taken by his father so is possibly Ronald Japps now. He was born in Doncaster March 1929. My nan was born Doncaster 1931. Their mother was AMY PEERS and she was part of Bertram's travelling circus. She apparently married a man with the surname Taylor.

My nan's Grandmother was Lovina Peers (maiden name Brailsford) and she married Frederick Charles Peers. They had Amy but also VIOLET MAY PEERS who was on the 1901 census with them listed as being 3 years old. I've found her birth records which states she was born in 1897.

ANY HELP? I think that Ronald may have joined the army and he was believed to have lived at some time in Sussex or Essex. We don't know if he is still alive or whether he married but we think he did. We think some of his family also lived in Doncaster.

Please let me know if you match any of these details.

Thank you,
Gemma
