Who's Who in the Theatre seems quite useful, and the obituaries section goes back into Victorian times, or earlier sometimes. The reference I most want is to Howard Templeton. Maybe entries don't get into the obituaries section unless date of death is known? Or I wonder if Howard Templeton could conceivably have been the stage name used by John Templeton, senior?
