I understand that she was in New York in 1917 and that she was said to be an actress. I am afraid that is all. I was hoping she would be in the census under the name of Hope - straw clutching probably

The story is that as an actress she travelled a lot which is why her son was in a boarding school. She could be anywhere

I just thought i would try and rule out New York if nothing else.
Oh, her husband William Ernest Hope was a printer by trade.
