Hi, I've just come across a fascinating set of ancestors, the first time I have come across any sort of theatrical aspect to my tree. I've got on the 1881 census, a James C Hunter, (I think the C stands for Crumbie) and his family. He's down as a Theatre Proprietor, employing 7 men and 3 women. His daughter is down as an Actress and a son as a musician. They are at Mill House, and while general searching of the web hints at a Mill House in the vicinity of Walls End (looks to be a pub/restaurant) I'm not at all sure it is the same place. I have the 1895 Godfrey edition of Willington Quay, which I have been pouring over. The census taker went down Nelson Street, on to Potter Street, past the Turks Head inn and (if I can read the writing) onto Stephenson Street, but then it gets a bit vague, and there's certainly no Mill House on the map. Looks like it was quite large as there are quite a few families crammed in there. I doubt Mill House was the "theatre", but would anyone know where Mill House was, and if there was a theatre nearby that might be a contender for the one James ran? Regards, John
