Hi
Can anyone help - I'm looking for place and date of birth of George Burton, a music hall entertainer in Scotland from around 1930 to at least 1957.
He may be from Glasgow.
All I have is that he fathered a child around 1930 and was in a show at the Empress Theatre Glasgow in 1956/57.
Any little clue would help!!
Thanks
Paula

If they cant this is what it says
WINTER SEASON 1956/57
Metropole Theatre, Glasgow:
"Scotland The Brave", with Clark and Murray, George Burton, Hugh McIlroy and Sixteen Moxon Ladies.
But no biography of any kind yet

Hi Paula
Also worth a look at this site:-
http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/sta/
This is the address for their catalogue:-
http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/sta/search/
Although George Burton is not mentioned in their list, the Empress Theatre is included. You might find some background information. It might also be worth contacting them to see if they might have anything that would be relevant for you.

See http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/artslibrary.bcc for the Harry Greatorex Theatre Index.
I believe also that The Stage, over 125 years on the go, have an archive, - see http://www.thestage.co.uk/stage125/archive.php .

Re: George Burton Music Hall Entertainer.....
Greetings.
Welcome to the forum.
If you click on "Paula" you will see that they were only active on this site for a couple of months, nine and a half years ago.
You will also be able to follow the five posts made in their search, of that time.
If the email address given TS for service is still active [not replaced] a notification of your post on this thread will be received.
It's the type of posting we all tend to wait for, the potential to add an other piece to the jigsaw puzzle,
All the best.
