I agree, Carol.  They certainly seem to have led a very glamorous life.  Fascinating peek back in history; I love the fact that they were described as 'Theatricals'!

Couldn't resist a simple cleanup of the photo. Here's two different exposures.  Hope you enjoy! Did my best not to damage the signatures.
I just like to do photo restores.

Yes I like that too Chris.....they look full of fun don't they. I'm pleased to see that Kevin has had the title changed at my suggestion, maybe we will get some interest in the photo from researchers now.

Very nice colouring, Dr Dude.  Thank you.

I'll aim to put the story of this fantastic research by many Rootschat members together for Cockney Ancestor, the magazine of the East of London Family History Society.
