By one of
those freaks of chance came upon a reference to a popular entertainer who was
famous in his day but now forgotten.
Known as Leslie Stuart, he was born Thomas Augustine Barrett, and looks
to be the brother of a granny of one of my grannies.
He has a
Wikipedia article under his professional name, adopted as his regular name,
Leslie Stuart and had a fascinating career.
It also answers some questions about why and what my previous known
family were doing.
Apparently,
there are a couple of expert biographies to go at as well. So I have been busy. This find is one of the upsides of tracking
family. On the other hand there are
downsides. The lady in question married
a Rooney.
Well you
win a few and you lose a few.
