Hello All. the following, from "Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper" July 26, 1891, describes Gladys' second go with WHH, beginning October 1888.

Barrett

Hello All. Here is a bit more information on WHH and GE. Not sure who the actor Barrett was, but if anyone knows, I'd be much obliged to find out. Perhaps I can use him to get more information on WHH.

(Snippet from "The Guardian" April 22, 1891.)

Cheers.

Hi Lynn,

According to The Times, 16th April 1891, it's a reference to Wilson Barrett [1846 - 1904], the English actor, manager and playwright.

Hi Lynn,

I see from Lloyds' illustration that there's a QC named Mr. ****. Shouldn't there be another named Mr. Bull?

Simon
