The next one is a bit hard to read but I know some of the story behind it.

Cornwall Chronicle (Launceston), 4 November 1843
Now, Radford was the licensee of the Horse & Jockey, a public house of the more ramshackle type in York Street but in an adjoining building he established a circus from whence the Australian circus industry grew. Prior to this, he lived in South Australia where he was, as Mr Woodly says, a jockey and horse trainer. Equestrian acts featured heavily in his circus. Probably he was a better horseman than businessman for he went bankrupt and, I think, returned to South Australia. From a query on a genealogy mailing list, it seems the Hannah was also from South Australia, and thus it might have been that they lived together. Who followed who to Launceston, or if they came together, I have no idea.
