Hello, I need some help please. I am researching a music hall act called the “Three Sisters Slater”, active from circa 1890 to 1914. The sisters’ names or stage names were Maude, Lizzie and Edie. Maude joined them from a different troupe in 1894. I think they were genuine sisters - when they toured the US in 1895, they gave these as their passenger names.
The reliable outbound record (Liverpool to NY) was as follows:
Arrive NY 16th March 1895.
Maude Slater, born c1874
Lizzie Slater, c1875
Edie Slater, c1876
Nationality for all was English.
Confusingly, on their return to Liverpool, their names were noted differently (although I think the person writing may just have been deaf!).
Maude, Lily, Emily.
Other details the same.
I have this much and a lot of info on show dates, but can’t find the sisters themselves.
One of them at least was living or working at 93 Hackford Road, Brixton, London in circa 1910.
