It is most probable that she performed in one of Henry de Frece's Theatres. He was my g g grandfather. Who was her agent? |

Nono, that one's my own black sheep younger brother of Viscount myth. ;) That was my gr-grfather's tale, and when I started investigating his real history about 3 years ago I discovered that he had a sister who was on the stage, you see, whom we'd never heard of. She's the one at the PictureHistory site. She seems to have abandoned the stage for wealth and domesticity -- but since I can't find her after 1882, she may have returned to it; who knows?? |

If you click on Trying to Find on the left (and make sure there is no surname filter on), then just browse the threads, you'll see that there are loads of us who hang around here for want of anything better to do, solving people's genealogical puzzles. ;) |

Ask FreeBMD for De Frece marriages, and you'll find a Henry marriage in 1871 in Liverpool. A second marriage perhaps? Which you may know, of course. ;) |

It ain't really rocket science, Laurence. ;) I suspect you haven't been introduced to FreeBMD (see my other post). |
