Thanks Jen B so Ernest Lawson and Stanley Carlton are one and the same.

I'll look at the article which I couldn't find as it was in the name of Sidney.

Thanks again

Replying to Carole, Arthur actually died in new Zealand in 1921

So, Jen B are you thinking that Ernest Lawson and Stanley Carlton are one and the same?

She was married first to Arthur Skelton in 1897 and then to Ernest Lawson in 1924. In between times she had a son Jack with Ernest Lawson in 1904.  her stage name was Rubie Maude.  She is on the 1891 census as Ruby Maude in Lambeth. On the 1901 census she is Ruby M Skelton in Chelsea and on the 1911 census as Ruby Maude Skelton in Twickenham.

She and Stanley Carlton are on the electoral roll for 1919 and 1920 at 225 St margaret's Road Twickenham.

Other than that, Stanley remains a mystery.

My interest lies with Rachel who worked for his company many times and lived with him for some years, although not married.

The 1911 census transcript say married, but the actual form says single - thanks for that.  There is no reference to Stanley on Rachel's death certificate and I don't have a date of death for him.

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
