Hello Everyone,
I am new to your list so I hope I'm doing this properly!
I'm trying to find out how Elliot John Norman Galer is related to my
grandmother - Annie Weston Chamberlin nee Wadsworth.He was born in
Cambridge ( ? location ) about 1830-1836.
He was an operatic tenor in the 1800's and I have found a lot about him on
the internet and on census returns but he travelled around alot. His
cousins - my grandmother, her mother Alma Wadsworth nee Odams, Alma's Uncle
Elliot Robert Odams and Emma Allen, dedicated a stained glass window in
Anstey Parish Church in Leicester to his memory. Unfortunately Elliot Galer
and his wife Fanny Reeves, also an Opera singer, had no children so I have
been unable so far to find the link I am looking for. According to his Will,
he was quite wealthy and donated lots to charity.
I would realy love to hear from anyone who knows anything! I am very willing
to share all the info I have about him, it's just the family connection that
remains the mystery!
Many thanks and best wishes
Julie
