Portsmouth records office would have some.  You may be lucky and find that a rootschatter has one.

The Hampshire Genealogical Society have some directories at their searchroom in Drayton, near Portsmouth, if you are a member.

Hi, I was visiting my Grandad in his care home today and he was having a good day! So I asked very gently if he remembered Nan's mum hoping he would give me something! Apparently she used to be a dancer in the Royal Theatre (in Portsmouth) and she married the doorman (on my Nan's birth cert the father is listed as a commissionaire so I wonder if this is the same thing) and she liked men in uniform (! dont we all!!!!)
Anyway, is there any way I can find any pictures etc or names of dancers in the Royal - I know the first burnt down and theyve restored it - any ideas?

There's a history of the Theatre Royal on this site:

You could try the Portsmouth Records Office, the Hampshire Records Office or the local paper.

I just wanted to say thank you to you all for your help it is much appreciated - one final plea can anyone find a marriage between Elizabeth Sarah Montague and a George Fielder (Nan was born 21/7/1920 and he is listed as her Father but I cant actually find a marriage?) I know Elizabeth married a Bert Broughton in 1907 and later on in years remarried a Hogg - so if any one can help with dates it would really help - thanks

Hi sorry, I was trying to make some sort of sense out of this today! I'm a bit confused as to when Charles was born?
Mar 1841 Charles Edwin Hanney was born in Bath
Jun 1865 Marriage of Charles Edwin Hannay to Alice Bishop in Bath
Mar 1868 Birth of son Charles Edwin Hannay in Bath (? is this the son of the 1841 Charles - it cant be Elizabeths Father because her sister was born in 1875 which would make him 7 when she was born!

Am I getting totally confused and mixing up the 1841 Charles as her Father?
help?

(? is this the son of the 1841 Charles -

Yes.
See page 4 for a possible 'biography' of the elder Charles.
