Lincolnshire families on Concert Playbills 1800s
« on: Tuesday 27 June 06 09:54 BST (UK) »

I have copies several playbills found in an ancestor's scrapbook - Mr William Buck of Grantham. The concerts were in the Lincolnshire towns Grantham, Sleaford and Silk Willoughby. They contain the names of amateur actors, singers and musicians who lived in and around Lincolnshire in the mid to late 1800s.
If anyone can claim someone in their tree who liked the limelight and would sing at the drop of hat then please contact me by PM and I will forward you a copy of the playbill or programme.

Hi,

Thanks for the message but my Hand family seem to have lived in Nottinghamshire from about 1751 at least and were carpenters!

Regards,

Jane leake.

Hi Susan

I came across this info and thought it might be of interest to you.

It was on the Lincolnshire Family History Site.

The Spalding Free Press paper dated 13/July/1897.
