The Common Room / cause of death
« on: Thursday 24 August 23 18:10 BST (UK)  »
I have a death certificate where the causes of death were:
1. puerperal eclampsia and
2. operation 25 caesarian section

Could anybody help with item 2 please.  Does it mean that the operation was done at 25 weeks of pregnancy?

Thanks

Occupation Interests / Marie Dagmar - actress
« on: Sunday 03 July 22 14:11 BST (UK)  »
My interest is Victorian/Edwardian Theatre and I am researching Marie Dagmar, her stage name

She died on 15 June 1925 at Rochester Grove in Fleet under her then married name of Mary Somerfield and I am trying and failing to find out where she was buried or cremated, so any help here would be much appreciated.

Born Ellen Silver on 5 December 1863 in Hampshire, using the name Mary Silver, she married Dorset W Lawrance on 24 April 1886 in London.  He was an actor who went by the stage name of Lawrance D'Orsay.  They divorced in 1907.

That same year she married another actor called Frederick Charles Somerfield in St Helens using the name Mary Amelia Dagmar!  Fred died in 1910.

Any information about her burial would be much appreciated.

Thanks

That looks like Harry and Ethel in 1911, son could be away at school of with family.

Maybe Minnie Ethel's husband was a theatrical agent which would make sense

I've found a 1901 census for Harry and Ethel Harrop and their son Harry in Ramsgate.

They are both theatrical artists, Harry born in Harrogate in 1877 and Ethel in Grimsby in 1877 and Harry junior in Grimsby in 1900.

What I can't find of course are any birth records in the names of Harrop for father and son.

I believe Ethel was born around 1876.

I have tried spellings of Davies, but with no joy.

Must admit I have not looked for a death overseas

My interest is in Edwardian/Victorian provincial theatre artists.

I am researching Harry Harrop and Ethel Vinroy, the stage names of two artistes who married between 1900 and 1910.  Unfortunately, I am struggling to establish their real names.

The only clue I have found is that in The Stage newspaper, Ethel posted a notice to say that her father, Alfred Davis, (late Somerset House, London) died on 12 March 1916 in his 89th year.

I cannot, however, find a death for Alfred Davis in that period of the correct age.

Any help anybody can give me would be much appreciated.
