My aunt ella and uncle Tommy were in the Pender troupe and went to America with them. I would love to find more details about them.

Hi Rose.

Yes I have been in touch with the website but he is not aware of the connection.

Thanks for the Drury Lane tip - I missed that one!

Thanks again - much appreciated.

I expect you have seen this Robert

http://www.quarlton.org.uk/pender/general.html

it does mention that they appeared at Drury lane so it might be worth seeing if the theatre has an archive?

Researching:

I would be interested in finding out about the Bob Pender Stage Troupe who were working in London in the early 1900's.

My grandfather Robert George Purser was in the Troupe around the early 1920s and when the troupe went to America in 1922 his mum would not let him go as he was only 12.

The troupe famously took Archie Leach to America who became Cary Grant.

I would love to find evidence of my grandfather's involvement in the troupe and would welcome any information or possible places to find out more information.

Thanks.

Rob
