Jessie looks so pretty there, Merlin - how old was she then?
Gali, that is great info. So, likely the H as a middle initial was not for Holland...the problem with guesses, eh

I wonder, Merlin, whether from Gali's info, you could contact the Actors' Orphanage Fund (now known as The Actors' Charitable Trust
www.tactactors.org/history.html) and check what records there may be for both Sydney and maybe Jessie (if mother Jessie died in 1912)?
Merlin, I agree totally with Gali's suggestion regarding getting access to 'The Stage' archives database. For you, with your family's profession, I think you could lose a few months there going through their extensive records! I have had access in the past to it and their archives are extensive.
I too have tried to find either of the two Jessies in 1911 and failed so far...
