Auckland (Ackerland) (Ackland), Arthur 18??-19?? England, ? - ?, ?
unidentified
his name appeared in 3 different spellings :
1) Ackland is a typo by either Pazdirek or the publisher Hopwood & Crew London
2) Ackerland has appeared on some of his publications, it is originally a german name, by emigration common in the USA, less common in England but it may have been the original name of Arthur Auckland or his ancestors
3) Auckland seems to be the correct spelling because it was written on the copyright entry from Orsborn & Co. London, printed in the title of the publication of his 'My home across the sea' and given with all performances of his compositions
