Hi all, Does anyone have a Theatrical Artist (late 1800's) in their family tree and if so, what was their occupation? Does it mean scenic painter or performer? When the occupation is simply given as 'Theatrical' (early 1800's) does it mean they were an actor, part of a theatrical company or just liked putting on a bit of a performance? (Looking at my children, If genetics play any part, I'd be backing the latter:-)) Any thoughts?, Mary Mary Rogers <[email protected]> Bendigo Australia

Hi listers and Lauren, Why thank you ma'am, it's nice to be appreciated.

Hi, Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847. He gave up a career as a civil servant in 1878 to become the secretary and touring manager to the famous actor Sir Henry Irving for the next 27 years. He died in 1912. Wrote "Reminiscences of Henry Irving" (1906), short stories, novels and dramatic criticism. "Dracula" was written in 1897.

Hi Gil! I think this is a very long shot indeed, but could Charlie Kunz be the same man as the pianist/band leader who was born in Allentown, Penn. USA on 18th. August 1896? He came to England in 1922. If you think he is your man then let me know and I'll tell you more. he died in 1958.

Dear Sarah, I understand that Albert Burdon died in 1981 and that he came from somewhere in the Newcastle upon Tyne area. He recorded at least twice - here are the details; ALBERT BURDON AND COMPANY recorded London, 10th. October 1933 Albert before the Means Test Committee - parts 1 & 2 on Regal Zonophone MR-1120] ALBERT BURDON and THE AWFUL CHILD recorded London, June 1934 George Washington - parts 1 & 2 on Regal Zonophone MR-1351 Burdon did a well known stage sketch called "On the Dole", which he performed with his wife to be. He appeared in Pantomime at Newcastle's "Theatre Royal" in 1958. The records are rare, but not fabulously so! Hope this helps.

Hi Gil, I remember a (concert?) pianist called Charlie Kunz around the 1930-50 era but I can remember any detail. I think he played light music.

There is a family story that states that one of my ancestors joined the circus in the early 1800s and as this was an embarresment to the family he was sent to Australia. Is there any way this can be proved or disproved regards Kaye Vernon Beacon Hill Australia

So far as I know, this is my only theatrical family connection. In the September quarter of 1895, Eleanor Sarah CROOME married Henry Frederick A. KUNZ in Stroud, GLS. The family later changed their name to KING (before WW I). In the late 1940s, Eleanor's brother John (my grandfather) married Henry's sister Rebecca after his first wife had died. A family story was that Henry & Beccy had a brother Charlie who was an entertainer. I would estimate that they were born 1870-1890 and probably in London. Does anyone know of a Charles/Charlie KING / KUNZ who was involved with entertainment: knowing the way family stories develop, he could have just been the fellow who swept out the stalls after a performance.
