"Louise Allen"

[edit]

Is there evidence Alice May was ever really "known" as Louise Allen, as an actress or otherwise? The name may be a simple mistake: Simpson's 2003 biography of Alice May (p. 201, note for p. 115) states, regarding the 1881 census: "The modern transcription of this document has her first name as Louise rather than Alice. This appears to be a mis-reading of deciphering the original handwriting. The name Louise is, in any case, uncommon in Britain until after 1860. A search for a possible "Louise" or "Louisa" May has yielded no results." Thus, it seems misleading to claim it was a pseudonym or a "sometimes known as", or even mention it anywhere but a footnote. Do any reliable sources mention the name Louise Allen besides historians commenting on primary sources? --Animalparty! (talk) 02:09, 19 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
