Could someone please give me the correct method of unsubbing from this group? I'm going on an extended holiday and will re-subscribe when I get back! Thanks!

I've been reading the archive, and you sound a lovely lot of people. I have been researching my family history for several years with some success, apart from my theatrical relatives who - darn! - didn't keep cuttings books or anything that would be useful to an inquisitive creature like me. My Grandfather's first family of girls all trod the boards in one way or another, and most of their offspring followed suit. (I'm merely a show off who followed our side into teaching!) I'd be very grateful if some kind soul could find any references to the LASCELLES surname from the early 1900's onwards. My Grandfather apparently used to sing with his daughter as 'Mr. Lascelles and his little girl at the piano'. His oldest daughter Leonie was a child prodigy on the piano, and even studied in Germany in the years before WWI. His next 2 daughters Felice and Vera, acted, sang and danced from the 1910's until the 1940's. Felice was in ENSA during the war. Felice was married to another actor called George NEIL. Any sightings of him gratefully accepted! That's quite a list for a first message. I'll now go away, cross my fingers, and wait hopefully... Regards, Ruth in Brum.
