Hello, I have recently been sent a photograph showing two men in evening dress. The man on the right is my cousin (twice removed) Robert Etheridge Thompson. They were an act called “Waldof and Bliss” who used to play the Empire and other Theatres. We believe they were singers. Robert later changed his name surname to Bates. I was wondering whether anyone has any information on this act, or could point me in the right direction to find out more information. I would be very grateful for any help, Mark Etheridge. Researching the names ETHERIDGE / STORES / REMMER / GAMSBY / HOGARTH / ADAMSON in the Sunderland area.
