I was a member of the Belfast Girls'
Choir in the late 1940's and early 1950's before emigrating
to Canada. (This is not the Methodist College Belfast Girls'
Choir). I would really appreciate hearing from other former
members. [posted 20

| I was at a meeting of the
'Aberdeen and Region Oral Heritage Association', they were
collecting digital recordings of the workers experiences
from Hall Russell shipyard in Aberdeen, they played some
music from the Hall Russell Male Choir. Someone must have
come across them in the 1920's and 1930's I was wondering if
you could ask your members if anyone has any memories or
anything.

| On clearing out
the house of a close relative we came across a photograph of
my Great Grandfather it was a group photo taken at "Carley
Street Adults Prize Choir 1904" my great grandfathers name
was F Dodge. I have spent some time trying to find the Choir
but to no avail, we believe that it could have been in the
Leicestershire area but not entirely sure, I am hoping that
you may have heard of the Choir and may be able to give me
some guidance

Trying to trace the Choral
Society that my Great Grandmother sang with. Her name
Mona Patricia Roberts (bn 1875) (also known as Martha
Sarah). As we understand it she me her future husband
Joseph Wellard Bartusek when he went backstage after a
concert she had participated in at the Queens Hall,
Londont. The concert was in aid of the war effort (WW1).
Joseph's first wife had died in 1916. Joseph and Mona
were married in Jan 1919 in Islington, London. We know
that Mona had singing lessons in London and was a member
of a choral society (1917/1918) but have no other
details.
