Discovered that some family members were trapeze/acrobats in Victorian Times. One of them was badly injured as a teeneager and couldnt continue which means they were performing in the 1890s.

Tried Googling their name FENTTIMAN and variations with various other key words to no avail. Guessing they may have used a stage name. Any ideas how I would go about finding what it was.

Thanks in advance (will look back later as its late)

There is a registered One Name Study of that surname.

Perhaps the researcher has heard of these artists.
