Hi Buckles, when I wrote before I wasn't sure but though the Orton Family was on Welsh Bros Circus out of Lancaster, Pa. I don't know if they are related but Miles Orton family of aerial artists was on Welsh in 1904.They also list two champion midget aerialists, Clarence and Iva Orton.Slack wire- Michael Norman Orton, Norman Ortan and his mule"Buster Brown". "This is Norman, Gordon and Myron Orton, sons of Miles Orton. Often outsiders were trained and added to the troupe as I believe was the case of both Clarence and Iva." Buckles
