I am researching my family tree and I have come up against a brick wall trying to find out about a couple of my ancestors.
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 cannot find 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.
