Hi David

Thank you for the additional information!

I think the Renee Glendower information may be leading us off track as this was my great grandmother's stage name so I am not sure it would have been used in the census records - but you never know!

Interesting to hear about the children being in Richmond in 1911 as that certainly seems to correlate with information we have.

Many thanks!

Thank you David

Interested to read about Ada as not aware of her until now!

Not sure the info regarding Renee Glendower / Jeannie T D Robinson tallies with what I have so far. My information is that she came over from America to Southampton with a daughter called Madge Chalmers, met Clifford, married and had two further children before leaving for America again where she died only a few years later.

I was aware of Clifford's death and dates.  Unfortunately Clifford's birth certificate has no mention of either parent so seem to be at a bit of a brick wall there.

My mother has spent some time researching this and I am stepping in to help so need to start trying to tie dates together as they obviously moved around a lot as travelling actors.

Thank you so much for your interesting information.

I am searching for any information about my great grandfater, Clifford Finch Hatton or my great grandmother, actress Jeannie T D robinson (stage name Renee Glendower).

I believe Clifford was manager of the Palace Theatre Leicester from 1908 - 1911 (and possibly the cinema next door?).  He was estranged from my grandmother and (his daughter) so that is pretty much all we know about him. 

Jeannie was American and returned there a few years after my grandmother was born where she died. Why she returned is a mystery as she left her children behind.

 Any information to help piece together their movements during this time and perhaps where he /she went afterwards would be fantastic.

Thank you.
