After a break of many years, I am once again trying to make sense of my sons' paternal great grandfather, Arthur Leopold Hughes. |

As birth registration wasn't compulsory until 1875, it may be that his birth wasn't actually registered |

In addition, mother-in-law said that her mother, Amelia, died, father remarried and then also died, leaving everything to his new wife, so mother-in-law at the age of 30 something had to find a job to support herself. |

No, I believe they were in Argentina when the 1911 was taken. Hoping I can survive until the 1921 comes on line. |

ArgyllGran, that is exactly how I read it, but it is so annoying not to be able to be certain. |

Yes, I think that might be a clue that the Upholsterer was indeed the Comedian :) |

A tree on Ancestry says that Arthur Leopold was born 1872, Glasgow and shows him there on the 1891 census with parents Arthur & Mary. |

That Ancestry tree is all wrong, I think. |

I am aware of the Scottish one, but do not think he's my Arthur Leopold - though I have contacted the tree owner who includes the Scottish one to try and get some more information. No reply yet, sadly. |

I have a few from stage publications referring to George Power's Comedy Combination (George Power, Arthur Fenwicke, Leo Hughes and Rose Pilarski) "A Wild Delusion", in May and August 1890, Feb 1891 George Powers combination, followed by the Harlow's with donkey and bear, and the Royal, Great Grimsby, May 1892. |
