| Researchers Seeking FALKINER | Researchers Seeking FALKINER (cont.) |
| I am researching the surname "Falkiner" in America - in particular I am looking for the descendants of William J Falkiner son of William Frederick Doran FALKINER and Eleanor Moore HAYES and Jane Robinson daughter of James ROBINSON & Margaret Elizabeth MILTON. William and Jane were both born in Ireland and emigrated to New York City in about 1885. I have also been in contact with Valarie Albert who has provided me with some information on this family. They had 4 children - 1) William Falkiner, 2) Eric Hayes Falkiner, 3) Eleanor Falkiner, 4) Robert Eric Hayes Falkiner. The first 2 children both died aged 4 and 6 prior to 1890. Eleanor Falkiner married John O'Petersen. Robert Eric Hayes Falkiner married Daisy Flynn in New York City. William was a Chemist. In New York City he ran | "Falkiner's Pharmacy" at 868 8th
Avenue in Manhattan. William and Jane were living at 336 West 51st Manhattan, New York City
in 1900, and 312 West 51st Manhattan in 1915. After William's death in 1916 Jane lived at
3731 Warren with her son Robert and his wife Daisy. My link to this family is through Jane
Robinson - my husband's grandfather Luke George Mansfield Robinson was her younger brother.
He was born in 1863, and came to Australia in 1890 possibly from New York City and worked at
Government House Adelaide as a military orderly for 2 Governors of South Australia before
serving in the South African Boer war (1899 - 1902) - for more information on his life please

| Researchers Seeking ERSON/SANDES Elizabeth Jane | Researchers Seeking CHUTE-TRANT-HANRAHAN, Elizabeth Anne |
| Have come across your research notes and see reference to Francis Bernard Chute of Tulligaron, Co. Kerry. I am looking at same name and trying to connect with the intermarriage in 1875 (Greater Manchester, Eng) between Edward George Ledger ERSON and Elizabeth Jane CHUTE -- her father is shown on the mar. cert. as a solicitor. No age given but when she died in 1903 (Lostwithiel, Cornwall) she was said to be 52, so birth year may be around 1850-52. This cert. gave her full name as Bessie Jane Sandes ERSON which ties up with a record I have of a Francis Bernard CHUTE who had a sister named Elizabeth who married in 1839 one Thomas SANDES of Sallow Glen, Co. Kerry I think. Also in the Chute Family notes there is mention of two ERSONs (with the name Chute) in Australia -- I have information on these. If you or anyone you know doing family research, can give me more info on Elizabeth Jane's birth and parentage this would be appreciated. Tks.

Finding a fictional character with the last name of "Chute" is usually pretty startling. Our surname isn't the sort of name that springs to most people's minds when they're creating the surnames of fictional characters, which makes you suspect that whoever created the character actually knew someone with the last name of Chute, who served either as an inspiration for merely the surname, or as a basis for the character itself. Sometimes this may be a compliment - and sometimes not.
| ANNE CHUTE | BAMBI CHUTE |
|---|---|
| Dion Boucicault, an Irish-American playwright created the heroine of Anne Chute in 1860 in The Colleen Bawn. The same character was later seen in the operatic adaptation, The Lily of Killarney by Sir Julius Benedict. The original play was actually written in New York; the opening lines of a synopsis introduce the character: "Melodrama set near Lake Killarney. Mrs. Cregan attempts to save her family's impoverished estate by encouraging a marriage between her son Hardress and his wealthy cousin Anne Chute." At the end of the drama, Anne saves the day by paying off the Cregan's mortgage ... the drama may have been set in Killarney but Boucicault was born in Dublin. His biography states that he was born "on either December 26, 1820 or December 20, 1822 to Anne Darley Boursiquot who had divorced her husband in 1819. Her son's paternity is in some doubt although the indications are that his father was Dionysius Lardner a writer who financed Boucicault's education." No doubt he encountered a Chute family at some point prior to 1860. | In the "I'm Not a Chute, But I Play One on TV" department, we ran across a web page written about a defunct Australian television series, Chances, which aired in 1991. Apparently, the ratings of the program were considerably less than expected, and the show's producers felt compelled to liven things up with the addition of a few new characters. One new character was "Bambi Chute", she was played by an actress known only as "Abigail", and her occupation was ... something probably better left to the imagination. We're not convinced that the show's writers were personally familiar with a "Chute" in this instance; her surname may have been chosen for other reasons. |
| ZELDA CHUTE | TONY CHUTE |
| In The Phanton Missile by E.W. Baichtal, whose family appears to be involved in alternative net publishing - short stories and other media published on the internet, bypassing publishers altogether - there is a character by the name of "Zelda Chute", arriving into the text on a dirtbike and described as a "young, red-headed woman". | The Quaker Girl, by James T. Tanner, Adrian Ross, Percy Greenbank and Lionel
Monckton, first opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London on the 5th of November, 1910 and ran
for 536 performances. Then, the text was revised and the play reopened at the London Coliseum
on May 25, 1944. This production closed - there were bombs being dropped on it at the time -
and the production company wisely decided to go on tour, later re-opening for a third time in
February of 1945, at the Stoll Theatre in London. The hero of the play - naturally - is Tony Chute, described as an American working at the American embassy in Paris. |
