and their descendants also played pioneer roles in circus history, both in the UK and elsewhere in the world, notably America where they were associated with the Barnum & Bailey and other circuses.Ada Wallett, the Jester's great-niece, settled in America where she performed as "The Great Zazell", married David Castello Loughlin and became part of his family equestrian act.
