Thanks Chris
The Fortescue's I'm looking for were active in the theatre between 1881 and 1901 brfore yours I think.
Have you tried the Templeman Library they have one or two 'acting Fortescues' in the early 1900s
I'm wondering if there has been a name change in my line, as all the other Fortescue lines do not connect with mine.
Mother and three sons (the eldest was my Grandfather) were all born in Germany so it says on the 1891 Census while the father was said to be born in Scotland, but again Fortescue is not a scottish name. Have tried most of the scottish websites but no luck.
All of this family with the exception of my grandfather are buried in Pyle cemetry, Bridgend, South Wales. I have put loads of 'feelers' out in this area and can only hope that I get a reply
Thanks again Janet
