	the stage magazine archives would be a good place to start, however if she was an amateur there might not be any mentions of her. Also the British Library has "The Era" magazine archives available. Both of which are subscription based, but are pretty reasonable in price.

	Thank you for that For Charlotte it does say professional dancer( on 1871). But that may not be true, Also they may not have used they real names when on stage. Well thank you all again for your help. I am off to bed now.Will check on here when i get in tomorrow nite. Hazelx

	Your Best chances of finding more on your Singer and Dancer, would be to check out Old Newspapers for example The London Times which has extensive archival material on Line. I have a Stage Actress in my family who performed in the late 1800's, While she was Famous, it was through little pieces in Newspapers that I was able to put together a picture of her life. The papers have a Heading called ENTERTAINMENTS which shows adds for Plays, concerts musicals etc and the names of Dancers and Singers performers are usually shown. Many of these shows would travel around the country and appear for a few nights in different towns. So do not limit yourself to London Papers only.
