Actor & Playright - Help needed

Ooooh now there's a thought. We're all still baffled as to why she left her young family. (My mum was about 2 years old when she left)

I wonder whether she was nursing - may have needed the money? IFR was quite elderly. She moved to another house after the Robertsons before going back home

IFR's archive of personal papers survives

We're under the impression she may have been a housekeeper so yes, nursing may well have been another option. She was later a housekeeper to a family in Guildford and met quite a few actors & actresses there. We did wonder if there was a connection with the actors somewhere.

I spotted the papers Mabel, shame there doesn't seem to be too much info on I F-R. X
