Theatre Royal West Bromwich - RAINBOW

[Angela Weston]

If anyone has a list or any information on the actors/actresses at this or other local theatres I would be grateful.  My grandmother was a dancer before her marriage in 1911. Her name was Selina Cashmore and she was from West Bromwich.  I have no other information on her or her career, but I do know that there was a painting of her in her dancing outfit.

I'm researching one of my relatives from West Bromwich, John Hubert Lyons born 1867. On his 1894 marriage to Martha Jane Smith his occupation is listed as "theatrical professional." I wonder if he might be the John Lyons in Emma Rainbow's Company who performed in Lucky Star. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can research this further, I'm all ears! I haven't been able to find him after the 1890 census (he's living with his parents and listed as a "safe packer" )
