Arthur Treacher's

With all these Arthur Treacher's posts, I got to wondering - how did this restaurant get its name? Was there an Englishman name Arthur Treacher who founded it? Or maybe a famous explorer with that name?
It is an odd name, so I'm curious.

Google search didn't turn up anything. Do you think Arthur Treacher was a farmer or maybe a shopkeeper? Maybe a fisherman or eel harvester?

Hope this help you to know who he was.
Arthur Veary Treacher (23 July 1894 – 14 December 1975) was an English film and stage actor active from the 1920s to the 1960s, and known for playing English stereotypes, especially butler and manservant roles, such as the P.G. Wodehouse valet character Jeeves (Thank You, Jeeves, 1936) and the kind butler Andrews opposite Shirley Temple in Heidi (1937). In the 1960s, he became well-known on American television as an announcer/sidekick to talk show host Merv Griffin. He lent his name to the Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips chain of restaurants.
Cheeers!
