Hi,
The newspapers I have read( dated from 1891 onwards) state her title as a Miss... so you may be looking for a marriage for her in the 1900's, a surname change. She may have stopped performing due to marriage, or even her age as there seems to be nothing in the papers, with her surname ,in the 1900's.
I wouldn't totally rule out that she was a Mrs though, she may have just used Miss on stage ( as Miss sounds much better than Mrs as a stage title)
Maud played a banjo, and also mimicked birds and animals in theatres , she played alongside other small acts in the theatres such as sketch actors, comedians, magicians etc. .
There are a few Maud Hazlewood (births) possibilities that I can see that are old enough to have taken to the stage in the 1890's . She may be one of the Maud's on the BMD with a middle name, or she may not even been born in England or Wales at all, and you need to look in Scotland and Ireland too. If you haven't done so already, I think you may need to widen your search on her name, Haslewood and Haglewood too, as many of the censuses for Hazlewood have transcribed them as those names too.
The newspaper articles have Maud performing in theatres all over Britain and not just in England . She performed throughout England, Ireland , Scotland and Wales ( there are newspaper articles advertising performances that included Maud in local theatres from all these 4 countries).
She apparently also performed with a troupe called the Sun Brand Minstrels beside other troupes.

She seems to have travelled around Britain quite a bit during the 1890's. It is possible that you may have difficulty tracking her in the 1891 census (I haven't take note on the exact dates that she played in each individual country, but if she was performing in Ireland in 1891 around census time,she may be lost in that destroyed census). Maud may even be her middle birth name that she called herself by ( plenty of those births too) .It may also be just a stage name and not her birth name, she may not even be born in Britain. There are endless possibilities.
Is she a relative, or just an interest ? If she is a relative, who were her parents? Have you got any info besides a name from newspapers?
Kind Regards
