Durham / Circus or Theatre Sunderland 1939

« on: Tuesday 20 October 20 13:00 BST (UK) »

I am tracing the history of a cousin of my Fathers.
I find her in 1939 in Sunderland, searching through the 1939 register I also find many Theatrical Artistes Dancers Vocalists.
They were obviously part of a traveling show.
Can anyone please help by pointing me in the right direction to find out who's show this was?
Many Thanks,
Ian Moseley.

Hello All,
I am helping a friend of mine with his family.
On the 1861 census I have
Robert Slape Pyne with wife Caroline Manley
Children, Robert S., Eleanor, Frederick, William, Margaret, Louisa, Walter, and George.
On the 1871 census there is a further son Charlie.

Searching FreeBMD I cannot find registrations for Margaret, Louisa, Walter, and George.

Robert Slape Pyne is described as a Baker residing at 49 High Street, Parish of St. Mary Magdalene, Taunton.

Does anyone have a connection with this family?

Ian.
