Rowland ‘Poppy’ Dixon

Based on information largely received from Nigel Dixon, one of Rowland’s grandsons, it is possible to establish that Rowland was with the Pender Troupe for a number of years.

We know from his diary entries that he toured with them in 1913-1914, 1918, 1920.

In 1921 he toured America with the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
