Zenora and Foden
As per my post on Q and A I would like to put forward Zenora and Foden for the Accrington Hall of Fame.
They seem to be brothers James Henry Foden and Frederick William Foden. Frederick born Accrington 26 Dec 1874 (James was born in Huddersfield.) Both are in 1881 census in Accrington with their parents. Described in 1897 as "the greatest hand balancers and hand jumpers in the world" they can then be seen in newspaper adverts to be performing in theatres both in the UK and also in America. They continue performing together into the 20th century, before separating. Frederick seems to end his days doing solo turns eg in panto and the name Zenora is passed down his family. |
