Stage Ancestors
« on: Tuesday 04 April 17 20:22 BST (UK) »
Dear all,

I've been told of a story that my 2nd great grandmother performed on stage.  And I would like to know if there is any truth to the story.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to start my research?

Regards
Stuart
