Hi
Im trying to help my mother trace her family history.
My great grandfather Frederick Warren Born 1903 on Churchgate Leicester.
In his teenage years possibly 13 -15 he was a Charlie Chaplain impersonator at the Palace Theatre for around 6 weeks until his father found out and banned him from working in the theatre.
We would love to know more if anyone has any information - maybe you ave an old flyer or programme with any details on. Perhaps he was a support act for someone famous!
We would really appreciate if anyone has any information of any use whether it be on my great grandfather or the palace theatre from around 1916 - 1920.
Many thanks
And also if anyone knows anything about Churchgate 1903 ish such as old photos etc... my great grandfather was born at number 64 which dosent seem to exist anymore, might be a furniture shop. Any info appreciated! wow this family history research is addictive!!
