Family History Beginners Board / Trying to find Joseph Colonel Stodare - magician
« on: Saturday 20 March 21 10:04 GMT (UK) »
I wonder if you could help me. I am researching Essex Photographers and have a John Rayne/Raine (b, 1864 in Scarborough, Yorkshire) married to a Josephine Caroline Stodare (b. 1865 in Liverpool). Her father is shown as Joseph Stodare – (occupation: Actor) and mother as Elizabeth (b. 1844 in London).
The only references I can find to the Stodare name is a Joseph Colonel Stodare (b. 28 June 1831 in Liverpool – d, 22 Oct 1866). I understand he was a Victorian magician, who worked a theatre called the Egyptian Hall in London, and invented the ‘Stodare Egg’. Although most references record that he was born in Liverpool, there is reference that this name was only a stage name and he was born Jack Inglis in Scotland?
His death index is recorded under the name Joseph C Stodare and his will as Colonel Stodare.
Does anybody have any information on Joseph Colonel Stodare and if this was his birth name.
Thanking you for your assistance,
