Trying to take another tack to make sense of this family...

In the 1920 Census, son Hubert/Herbert was living with grandmother Margaret Donnelly.  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M63L-2LV  I presume she was his maternal grandmother.  Two of Margaret's granddaughters were also living there. 

In 1930, Hubert was listed as a cousin in the home of Russell & Dorothy Fredericks.  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X3WF-54W  I think Dorothy is the same Dorothy that was listed in the 1920 Census with the surname Vincinti.

This appears to be the death of Dorothy/Dorothea:

This burial lists her as wife of Russell:

That didn't reveal anything further about the Crispinis, but maybe someone will find something that will give us some insight.

Enjoyed your researched posts on Hubert Crispini.  I've been looking for him too as I wanted to write a blog post about him, which is how I found this site.  He performed in St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, now the US Virgin Islands in 1895.  There was a photo of him and a small ad announcing his performance.  Seems to have been a well traveled performer. :-)  Thought it would make for an interesting blog post to share on VintageVirginIslands.com.  Has anyone been able to find his family?

Hi PaperDoll,

No we never tracked him down. Please do post a link here to your blog when you've posted it. I'd be interested.

Also could you post the image you found? That would be a nice addition to this thread.
