Hi,
I've just received this email from someone researching their grandfather. Does anyone have any info on who this might be? Thanks, Ros "I was looking on Google for my Grandfathers name as an escapologist who performed at Crystal Palace in maybe the late 1800's or early 1900's. His name was Robert Massey Richardson, is there any chance thatyou have heard of him or could you give me an indication of where I might be able to get the information."

Well it sounds to me like it may have been an escape artist called Robert Massey.
But beyond that I have nothing! Ah it is nice to be back and helping out around the place. Dave |

So, going back to the topic.
I've found out that Robert Massey Richards was his real name. Unsure if he had a stage name and he would've performed at the Palace before it burnt down. I think that was mid 1800s? Cheers, Ros

I take it this is a "No Ros, we don't have a clue who this bloke is".
Ah well.

I've played in Crystal Palace, but not actually IN the palace..... If that makes sense.
I didn't want people confused about the place and the actual palace.
