Hi Hazel
Jack Davidson's father had a metal file business in Glasgow. He had three children Jack, my grandmother and another brother. He died quite young before the brothers were old enough to take over the business. The other brother had one daughter, I presume he was married. The daughter did not marry and when my grandmother died she looked after my grandfather. Jacks wife was Mona Wynne. I think but I NEVER met her. They had two daughters . I have a photo of the four of them. The Martell sisters I believe we're cousins. I also have a photo of the parents. They used to stay with my grandmother when in Glasgow in the early 50s. What is your connection? Yes the address is my e-mail address and you could contact me there.
Best wishes
Ken Fraser

Hi,
I'm a theatre historian from Australia and I've been doing some research into Anita. She was born in Ireland in 1916 and married Len Young/ Yenish, in 1940 before coming to Australia for 4 years during the war.

She sometimes used the name Janette Yenish and seems to have used Janette as her first name in official documents.

I'm trying to write an article about her for my website, and it will concentrate on her Australian adventures. But of course I'd love to know about her latter life.

You can contact me through the website hat-archive.com if you want to.

I've attached a programme in my possession I also have a signed photo.
