Winifred Chalmers
referred to by me as WC.No suitable Winifred Chalmers in 1901 nor 1911 Cs - suggesting this indeed a stage name
Just a sneaking suspicion that this could be the stage name for Alice Winifred May Partridge/Ormrod/Osmond, legal wife 1903 of Henry Lewis Ormrod HLO
She was an actress from 1898 -1912, and also had her own Company 1902-1912 - 1902 was the year HLO was declared bankrupt and it was thus more difficult for him to run a theatre company - seemingly only one mention of his Company in the 1903-1909 press, this being 1908
1898. Working as an actress in London & Loughborough. Also Boscombe with HLO.
1900 "Works & Wages", West London Theatre & Elephant & Castle: "The mystery of Desborough" Manchester: "Union Jack" Burton on Trent with HLO's company WC & HLO acting in it
1901. Dec 24 Sunderland. Henry Osmond is playing opposite Winifred Chalmers in 'Black Vampire'. Flo Bannister also in this
1902 "Union Jack" Sheffield with HLO's Company, she the Hero, he in it. " The Black Vampire" , she & HLO in it
1904. WC playing a part in "Midnight Mail"
TO Finish!
Only one death seemingly possible on bmd: this 1933 aged 54,
