I wonder if anybody could help me with this search as I am trying to find out what I can about this man.
Stanley Carlton was a reasonably well known actor and theatre company manager in the late 1890s and well into the 1900s and in the 1930s he became the manager of the Cinema de Lux in Brighton. He also lived in the Twickenham area about 1918/20.
The problem is that I don't know whether Stanley Carlton was his real name as opposed to a stage name. On the 1911 census he is shown under this name as a married theatrical manager, lodging in Leicestershire with a birth date of 1882 and birthplace Redcar, Yorkshire.
In 1929, he placed a notice in the stage to say that his wife had died on 14 April 1927. Now that notice, I believe refers to Rachel Maud Lawson, born Rachel Mussett in 1868 who did die on that date. She was an actress who went under the stage name of Rubie Maude and she did live with Stanley for a while, although they were never married.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks
