  ??? ?????? ???William Hill Ventriloquist b 1831 Lambeth or married in Lambeth 1858, his wife Jane Saffrey.
His daughter Amy Jane b 14 June 1858

Does anyone know of  William Hill a Ventriloquist?

He may not have travelled around as much as Circus Folk instead he may have trodden the boards in the same area. ::) ::) :-[ :-[

Have you found him in the various census?  If not all, do you need a look-up, or are you trying to find out about his career?

Why not try this website, exellent for locating Music Hall & Variety Artistes, the email address of the official historian of the British Music Hall Society, Max Tyler is shown, he was a great help to me some years ago.
