interestingly, George and Antonia in 1881 have a son which on the image could be read as Arthur!!

Christine

Arthur L (Leopold) Hughes was the son of Arthur Alfred Hughes (photographer) and Antonia formerly Pilarski.

You know what these actresses are like. Perhaps she pruned years off her age too.

The lovely thing is that my late mother in law was terribly straight laced. This would really have annoyed her. Great, I am having fun.

So it seems as if Rebecca, etc., are connections after all.

So Antonia and Arthur had a bit of a fling she found herself pregnant and had to own up to husband George to save face he said Arthur's surname was Power.

but the child was born in 1873 and the George/Antonia marriage was in 1880?????????

how does that work then???

Samspade, there is a record on FreeBMD of marriage between Antonia Pilarski and George Power, March 1880 Leeds.

So perhaps Arthur Alfred and Antonia weren't married, though she put herself as such on the birth certificate, then she took her son away with George Power and married him.

Jan

Hi Jan,

Who registered the birth, was it Antonia?

She wouldn't have to be married to Mr Hughes, put maybe she just pulled that name out of the hat??

Jan,
Just noticed that!

All the census returns must be for the Antonia you are searching also birth for her and marriage to George.

Christine, my starting point on this is the birth certificate of Arthur Leopold Hughes, 1873, which gives his parents as Arthur Alfred Hughes and Antonia formerly Pilarski.

I can't find a record of a Hughes/Pilarski marriage, so perhaps they weren't. So Arthur L is her son, but not George Powers'.

Jan

sounds more like it Jan

my gt grandmother was married to someone else when she had my granddad

but she put herself down on the cert as being married to his father - but we know she never was!!

The mother Fannie is a teacher of dancing, looks like George had the actor/dancing in his blood.

Looks like someone else is tracing this line with the correction made.

Thanks for that, Denise - I can see that this is going to keep me very busy for quite a while sorting it all out.

I've just found a George and Antonia Power in the 1901, in lodgings in Liverpool with a Benjamin (relation to Head - brother). Looks as if they get younger every 10 years. I can't quite read their occupations, because its overwritten, but could easily be Actor. Could anyone have a look for me? Their dates of birth this time are 1860 for George and 1862 for Antonia. Not bad for a birth registered in 1854.

Jan

Hi Jan ,

The 1901 says Actor, spotted that 1 too.

Hi Jan,

Wonder if this could tell you anymore;

On the whole, I don't find death certificates give very much new information, so only buy them as a last resort (penny pinching).

Now I'm trying to find Arthur L Hughes, born 1873 Marylebone, in the 1901.

In August 1901 he married, gave his occupation as Upholsterer, which I assume was the start of his employment with Maples of London. He also gave his father's occupation as Secretary to the Maharajah of Madras, I wonder if that was just a tarradiddle?

Jan

Jan

if his father was an actor - that could have been his latest role!

perhaps Arthur had a 'wicked' sense of humour!!!

Christine
