There are newspaper items referring to the Sisters Santley as being the daughters of Walter Raynham. It might be that Walter Rose was a stage name.

It appears in the light of new information received from a cousin that we have the wrong marriage for the above and from other records he was married ( ??) to a MORVAL MARY Willis.  I cannot find the marriage but as they travelled a lot and one time from South Africa could be ?? married abroad.

 Ettie may have been  his first wife, if I remember there was a divorce record on Anc*y but I didn't look into it...

C E C Willis Pease born 28 Feb 1916
Baptism Date:   19 Mar 1916 St Mary, Lambeth
Father:   Sydney Thomas Pease, Actor Mother:   Morval Mary

so guess the marriage would be before 1916

Not that this helps with Pease/Willis marriage it must be sometime between 1911 - 1916 as she's on 1911c https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW53-V3V occ Artist and their son born 1916

Mmm......her surname is FRANKLIN on 1939 ER / POLLARD on 1939 Reg., POLLARD on death and she appears to have married as Mary M WILLIS in 1934

Perhaps she didn't marry Sidney Pease

You would need her 1934 marriage certificate to see what it says

1936 London Electoral Register entry
address 22 Grove Road
Morval Mary Pollard & F P Pollard
and at the same address in 1934
Morval Mary Pollard, Charles Henry & Elizabeth Mary Willis

- a Miss Lilian Lloyd, known on stage as Carmencita,
- also one of the company
- Mr Pease deserted his wife to live with Carmencita,
- and there had been several children born to Carmencita

The following seems to tie in with Morval but I haven't looked into that any further.

The Stage
05 Oct 1933
Mrs M Pease wishes to thank all friends for their kind inquiries during the illness of the late Mr Sydney T Pease, also for the expressions of sympathy in her bereavement.


There's a number of newspaper items about Sydney's death. If you're interested let me know and I'll post some details.

[Cockneyrebel]

Thank you very much, everyone, excellent research.

It appears that we've got the wrong Sydney (there were 2!), Ettie married a Sydney Pease but he was born in Tottenham, my one was born in Bethnal Green?
cuffie81 if you've still got access to Sydney's death notices could you please post the details?
