[PAR] [TLE] Arthur B. English [SEP] Arthur Bartholomew English was a British man who became Canada's hangman in 1912, when he was officially offered the job.  Prior to this he had been an assistant to John Radclive, a veteran of twenty years of hangings.  English served in this capacity until 1935.  He probably used the pseudonym of Arthur Ellis after the famous English executioner, John Ellis: there is no truth in the story that John Ellis was his uncle, as John Ellis only had one brother, James Preston who was born in 1887, and therefore would have been only 25 when Arthur Ellis started his career.  It is estimated that English carried out more than 600 hangings over his career.  Several of his successors adopted the same pseudonym. [PAR] [TLE] John Ellis (executioner) [SEP] John Ellis (4 October 1874 – 20 September 1932) was a British executioner for 23 years, from 1901 to 1924.  His other occupations were as a Rochdale hairdresser and newsagent.
