She was a wealthy lodger with Mr and Mrs Frederick Seddon, who signed over a controlling interest of all her savings to Mr Seddon in return for free accommodation and a small annuity for the rest of her life. She died on September 14, 1911, aged 48, and was buried in a pauper’s grave in Islington Cemetery, High Road, in East Finchley.

He entered the family business aged 15 and later worked on the stock exchange. Isaacs was called to the Bar in 1887 and he led for the prosecution in the Frederick Seddon poisoning case in 1912.

The same year he entered the House of Commons as Liberal MP for the Reading constituency. In March 1910 he was knighted, before being raised to the peerage as Baron Reading Erleigh in 1914.

Her father was a prosperous manager on the theatrical circuit in Lincolnshire until he lost all his money speculating in railways.

Kendall made her initial début at Haymarket in London, where she played Desdemona to Ira Aldridge’s Othello. She was at the peak of her musical career at the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. She is described as having a ‘fi gure trim and fl itsome as a dragonfl y’.

Kendall died on May 5, 1964, just short of her 90th year, and her ashes were scattered over Clapham Common, close to where she lived.

He was educated at Queen’s College Galway, graduating in history and modern languages, and began his career in journalism at the Dublin daily, Saunder’s Newsletter. In 1870 he joined the London Daily Telegraph as a subeditor and later became London correspondent for the New York Herald. He founded and edited several London newspapers and weeklies including the Star (1887), the Weekly Sun (1891) and the literary paper, T. P.’s Weekly (1902).

In 1880 O’Connor was elected MP for Galway as a representative of Parnell’s Home Rule League. In 1885 he was returned for Galway and also won the Scotland division of Liverpool and held that seat until his death.
