Born ? in United Kingdom

George Footit Sr. eventually created his own traveling circus and, in 1867, he partnered with the equestrians Anthony Powell
and Alfred Clarke
to launch the Powell, Foottit & Clarke’s Great Allied Circus. Unfortunately, Geo Foottit, Sr. had an inordinate love for the bottle, and his chronic drunkenness led Powell and Clarke to end abruptly their partnership with him in the middle of the 1868 season. Foottit, Sr. got back the equipment and horses he had invested in the venture, and continued alone with his Foottit’s Allied Circus, while Powell and Clarke carried on their fruitful association in Ireland.
