Marie Dagmar - actress
« on: Sunday 03 July 22 14:11 BST (UK) »
My interest is Victorian/Edwardian Theatre and I am researching Marie Dagmar, her stage name

She died on 15 June 1925 at Rochester Grove in Fleet under her then married name of Mary Somerfield and I am trying and failing to find out where she was buried or cremated, so any help here would be much appreciated.

Born Ellen Silver on 5 December 1863 in Hampshire, using the name Mary Silver, she married Dorset W Lawrance on 24 April 1886 in London.  He was an actor who went by the stage name of Lawrance D'Orsay.  They divorced in 1907.

That same year she married another actor called Frederick Charles Somerfield in St Helens using the name Mary Amelia Dagmar!  Fred died in 1910.

Any information about her burial would be much appreciated.

Thanks
