I am looking for information on an artiste [ singer]whose stage name was Madame De Rose. Her real name is Hilda ? I was told she appeared at the Empire Theatre in Sunderland. I have'nt been able to confirm this. Apparently she was the step sister of my grandfather Thomas Stanley Fairless. he was the son of Thomas Fairless and Frances Ullithorne. I have been unable to find Frances on the 1891 census. Thomas is listed as being at the home of his parents at this time. The only Thomas Stanley I can find is living as an adopted son of Cuthbert and Eleanor Robson. At first I thought maybe Frances had died in childbirth in 1890 but the reg office have no death record for her in years 1890 - 1892. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Julia
