Thomas William Paulo Place/ Ellsey

[kinsey5156]

I am researching my family tree and I have come up against a brick wall trying to find out about a couple of my ancestore

Thomas William Paulo Ellsey b 1813
Thomas William Paulo Place  b 1854

Family stories say that these two were linked to the circus/acting/showman
but I canno tfind any records.

The name Paulo is not a family name and I was wondering if it was a stage name. Also  family stories say that Thomas William Paulo Place was a clown called Boppo.

I have not found any real evidence of this.

Can anyone help.

Hi,

I was doing a google search relating to the Paulo's and it picked this thread on rootschat.  I am not sure if someone has already given you this information, but here goes.  Henry J Butcher (stage name Paulo; an acrobat)  married Caroline Baker (real name possibly Prigg, a tight rope dancer) and their children were John Henry Butcher (Paulo) b.1861; Thomas James Butcher (Paulo) b.1864; Elizabeth A Butcher (Paulo) b.1866, Joseph William Butcher (Paulo) b.1867, Emma S Butcher (Paulo) b.1869. Henry B Butcher (Paulo) b.1873, Grace Butcher (Paulo) b 1875, Frank Stephen Butcher (Paulo) b.1878 and Caroline Maud Butcher (Paulo) b.1880.

Caroline Maud Butcher is my great grandmother.    Frank Stephen Butcher's Family started the Paulo Circus which is still going today.  Two weeks ago I was in Bristol and was fortunate enough to go and see the Paulo circus and meet the family and share some information on the family tree.  The only information they have on Grace Butcher in the family tree printout is that she was born in 1875 and died in 1930.    There is a lot more information on the other family members if you are interested.
