Does anyone have any suggestions? I am trying to find information about the opera singer, Louise Kirkby-Lunn (1873-1930). I have Googled and found snippets - i.e. where born (Manchester), year of marriage (1899), but nothing more concrete. Family 'sayings' have it that she was related - I'm trying to prove this isn't the case. So far, I have been unable to find her birth, or the name of the man she married. Not even sure if her 'name' was a stage name. Many thanks in advance, Kate

From the info you have given I looked on the Civil reg for the marriage, turns out she married either Claude H E Clarke or William John K Pearson. Found on 1901 census Wm J K Pearson/head/29yrs/schoolmaster Louisa Pearson/wife/28yrs/Singer Louis K D/son/1yr in St Marylebone,London RG13/114 Have image if you want it sending.

The 'K D' for the little boy is in fact 'L' Birth ref Louis Kirby L(could be for Lunn) Pearson June qtr, 1900 Prestwich Lancashire vol 8d page 396 Perhaps needs checking on 1837online, I don't have credits.
