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 a
lot. 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 really 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
