Some of you may remember a couple of weeks ago me asking for help on my great uncle Alfred George Newey, he was always known as George.
He was "on the stage" as the family termed it and seemed to disappear after 1912.
I have been searching The Stage Archive and have found a few references that look like him from 1899 to 1914. The one in 1914 is about a concert party by members of the Manchester Regiment in Filey.
Before that, the last reference was in 1908 at Garthland Saltcoats NB (wherever that is)
It describes the show and amongst others mentions a Sergeant NEWEY who was a baritone. My George Newey was also a baritone as this is mentioned a few times in the references I found.
Was this him? I have looked on the Commonwealth war Graves site, The Medal Rolls and the pension records on Ancestry but I can't see him.
Any ideas?
I know he went to USA and returned in 1912 but nothing after that.
Oh, he was born in 1876 in London but lived most of his early life in Burton on Trent, Staffs
