Kate Hawkins was born in Holborn in 1876. On the 1911 Census it states she worked as a Druggist Assistant. However, information passed down through the family said she had some connection with the theatre. I don't think she was an actress, maybe a seamstress making the costumes. Where could I check this out? Also it is said she was a model for a shampoo advertisement. I would like to find out if any of this information is true.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Suz for your reply. I have all the census records for her and even know the connection to the lodgers. Now I'm wondering if her connection to the theatre was only a hobby or possibly a way to earn extra money. I was hoping there might be records of those people working both on stage and behind the scenes in the theatre. Thanks again for your help.
