Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction if/or how I can or cannnot find information on a relative "Unknown" possibly a member of my wife's family, surname, (ROLLINSON) various spellings, Bradford, West Yorshire, who was a member of Will Sugdens" "Versatile Pierrot's", and earlier in, "The Jolly Juveniles" no idea of the years, possibly c1920s-c1950s.
Thank you in advance

Have you tried newspapers? For example, there is an item about the Versatile Pierrots in 1919 which list names, however there is nothing like ROLLINSON.

Hi Maddy52,
Many thanks for your reply, sad old me ever give it a thought about papers, which is what i am going to search for now. To be honest the Newspapers was the last thing i thought would reveal an answer to my query.
Just need someone to get my brain working.
Many Thanks, John

I have Multiple Sclerosis so it was most apt for my condition.
Can i ask you if you found out the information from Find My Past? i have all access to ths web site but it has changed drastically since i last searched the Newspaper records, sadly it comes up with every search but the Halifax Evening Courier.
best, John

My wife has found the article and it looks as though it could be the name Illingworth, so my
wife Anne has written down the article and is going to search for this name., seemingly it could be an illigitimate child May Illingworth, we will see
Thank you very much,
John
