The Common Room / Looking for any information on theatre performances late 1800 to early 1900
« on: Monday 08 December 25 06:53 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
My great grandfather John Thomas Smith as the story goes liked to "tread the boards" so we were hoping to find information if possible on him performing in any local theatres. We do know on the 1901 census he was 31 he was living in All Saints Parish, St Cuthberts. In 1911 Census he was living in Gibson Street, Newcastle. Live in Australia can anyone help us or point us in the right direction. Haven't found anything on Ancestry etc Many thanks Christine

Thank you both for your reply.
I have the free reg info and have the children on later census data. I was trying to go further back in John Oliver's life - hence searching for apprenticeship records.
Appreciate you both taking the time to post.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / John Oliver - Apprentice ShoeMaker
« on: Sunday 30 September 18 04:24 BST (UK) »
John Oliver was born around 1795 not sure where as 1841 census he is a shoemaker in Crayford, Kent, however not of this parish. He died in 1847 in Crayford, Kent. Wondering if there are any records of apprentice shoemakers that may help me locate him prior to 1830. He married Sarah Hill in 1830 in Crayford. I have previously posted in the Kent Forum, however thought maybe the London apprenticeship records might give me something new.
Any guidance much appreciated.

Kent Lookup Requests / St Paulinus Crayford Marriage Look Up Please
« on: Tuesday 18 July 17 13:10 BST (UK) »
John Oliver married Sarah Hill March 1830 at St Paulinus Crayford.
A look up would be appreciated if there are any other details - parents or approximate age of Sarah.
Not sure if these details were recorded or not but would appreciate a look up or advice.
Many thanks.
