Title: Preuss
Post by: xenia1 on Saturday 15 February 20 15:58 GMT (UK)
looking for information on Violet Preuss. In the 1901 census, it says profession dancer. I can't find any more information about her. 
not sure where to look.
I was wondering if she changes her name.

Have you checked her occupation on the 1939 register.

ADDED If she was acting she may have had a 'stage name'
