Notes and Questions

edit
  1. A Mr. Salmon was present at amateur theatricals by the Royal family and friends at Osborne House, 2 February 1893: Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper says that the Court Circular says that "Fleet-engineer Salmon (of H.M.Y. Victoria and Albert)" was present for the performance of She Stoops to Conquer, with Arthur Collins playing Harcastle, possibly one of a group of people invited by Queen Victoria.[2] H.M.Y. Victoria and Albert is likely the yacht Victoria and Albert?
