James Frederick Greethead - Leotard Bosco
Well, I had a great evening last night attempting to discover any clues why Eric and his wife would have found Leotard Bosco's funeral card in their family belongings. I may have discovered a link, but of course there may be more. After searching through all the census years and creating a mini family tree I discovered that Eric's wife's father's step father (are you still with me !) had a brother who was recorded in 1891 census as a Music Hall Manager in the same town - Kingston upon Hull, as Leotard was a Music Hall Proprietor. In 1901 census he is described as a Music Hall Artist. I would suspect that may be why he and maybe other members of the family attended the funeral in1895. Is this the mystery solved or just the beginning.....................
