Arthur Frankau (1849–1904) was the son of Bavarian-born Joseph Frankau (previously Frankenau), a Jewish merchant who moved to London from Frankfurt in 1837.〔"The Frankaus of London: A Study in Radical Assimilation, 1837–1967", Todd M. Endelman, ''Jewish History'' Volume 8, Nos 1–2, 1994 p.118〕
==Family and business background==
Based initially in London’s Whitechapel, by the mid-1840s Joseph Frankau had successfully established himself as an importer of leeches and cigars, trading as J. Frankau & Co.〔"The Frankaus of London: A Study in Radical Assimilation, 1837–1967", Todd M. Endelman, ''Jewish History'' Volume 8, Nos 1–2, 1994 p120〕 Meanwhile, Joseph’s younger brothers Nathan and Adolph Frankau had emigrated from Germany to the U.S.A. where they set up a dry goods business.〔"The Frankaus of London: A Study in Radical Assimilation, 1837–1967", Todd M. Endelman, ''Jewish History'' Volume 8, Nos 1–2, 1994 p121〕 Nathan Frankau remained in the U.S., establishing himself successfully as an importer and retailer of fancy goods, first in New Haven CT and later in New York NY: "Every piece of merchandise in his shop was bought by him because he thought it was fine."〔Bernstein, Aline. ''An Actor's Daughter'', A. A. Knopf 1941, Ch. 7〕 Adolph left New Haven for London (England), and started a business (Adolph Frankau & Co.) which later became known as a leading supplier of briar pipes such as the BBB brand.〔"100 Years in the Service of Smokers 1847–1947", Adolph Frankau & Co. 1947〕 Their younger brothers Sidney and Henry Frankau also came to London, Sidney trading in partnership with Adolph in the early 1850s〔''London Gazette'' No. 21501, 28 December 1853 p3639〕 before starting his own firm (Sidney Frankau & Co.), again importing pipes and fancy goods.〔"The Frankaus of London: A Study in Radical Assimilation, 1837–1967", Todd M. Endelman, ''Jewish History'' Volume 8, Nos 1–2, 1994 p122〕〔''London Gazette'' No. 22351 27 January 1860 p309, ''et al'' up to & inc. No. 23050 19 December 1865 p6772〕 Henry appears as a member of Joseph Frankau’s household, employed as a clerk at Joseph's firm, in the 1851 Census, by which time Joseph and his family had left Whitechapel for a home in the more salubrious surroundings of Duncan Terrace, Islington.〔1851 Census, 4 Duncan Terrace, Islington, Middlesex〕 Arthur Frankau, born at 22 Great Alie Street in February 1849,〔Gilbert Frankau, ''Self-Portrait'', Hutchinson 1940, Ch. 1〕 was to be the last of Joseph’s children whose birth was registered in the Whitechapel District: his younger sister Alice was born in Islington in 1852, and younger brother Edwin in Hampstead in 1854.〔1852 Register of Births (Third Quarter), and 1854 Register of Births (Second Quarter)〕 In the mid-1850s, Joseph and Adolph Frankau and their families, and Sidney Frankau, all resided in Hampstead.〔"The Frankaus of London: A Study in Radical Assimilation, 1837–1967", Todd M. Endelman, ''Jewish History'' Volume 8, Nos 1–2, 1994 pp121,122〕 Arthur Frankau and his generation were cousins of New York actor Joseph Frankau, who was one of Nathan Frankau's children.
