Born ? .

Equestrian.

1867: he partnered with the clown George Foottit Sr. and equestrian Alfred Clarke to launch the Powell, Foottit & Clarke’s Great Allied Circus.
1868: Unfortunately, Georg 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 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.
