So I've spent much of the day, chatting on Messenger with family members related to the Hoffman jugglers (The Six Willys), who I've also researched before. I'm so thankful that one of the people answered my message as quickly as they did, as I've got to hear so many interesting stories and learn so much more information about the families.
I haven't quite got all the answers yet but I'm getting there. Just waiting on replies from a few other family members but in the meantime, feast your eyes on these awesome videos.
I don't want to say too much but it transpires that the Bertini circus family from Czechia is also related to the Hoffman family and I've had such a wonderful chat today with the fantastic low wire walker and unicyclist, Georg Bertini.
Here are his parents and other family members in 1962:
