Hi again, Having done my bit of grovelling, I really should practice what I preach. My grandfather's occupation on his marriage certificate in 1909 is given as 'Actor' He was living in Leeds, Yorks at the time. He obviously wasn't a very successful actor as he eventually became a cobbler, but would there have been much work in the theatres in Leeds at that time?
