There do not appear to be any children to the above marriage unfortunately, at least as far as I can see. I think you have a couple of options. Either get the death cert to see who the informant was, or track down descendents of her siblings - it's a long shot but family members might have photo's maybe.

Looks like Alec, but again no offspring (unless wife was married previously and therefore maiden name different):

The latter trip has a number of dancers and other artistes listed with Violet, in the absence of any other means of finding a photo..it might be worth trying to trace some of them forward, in case living families might have photo's.

I've had a look at the Oz newspaper archives on Trove and the only illustrated articles were pictures of Pavlova.

Might be worth looking at Australia for records of the Pavlova company tours there?

Google 'Pavlova ballet company' for lots of references that 'might ' lead to someone with photos of the company?

no photo with it unfortunately

"Violet Faucheux was a dancer with Anna Pavlova‘s company for a number of years. She joined the Pavlova Company in approximately 1923 and was still a member of the Company at Pavlova’s death in January 1931. The Anna Pavlova Company continued for a short while after Pavlova’s death, and Faucheux was a member until it was disbanded sometime in mid-1931. Miss Faucheux, when playing the mother of Giselle in that ballet, recalled having to ’rescue’ one of the corps who was, apparently, in danger of being strangled by Pavlova, in the title role, who was ‘living’ the part. "

I can't find any photos on the internet for her and there doesn't seem to be anyone on Genes who has her in their tree.

Do you know of any other cousins of your father who may have photographs?

She doesn't show up on the 1911 census. Was Violet Faucheux her stage name?

She was my father's cousin, born in 1903.

I would love to to see some photographs of her

Maureen

Hello Mo, there are numerous records relating to her.

However, I don't want to waste time willy nilly posting information that you may already have.

You need to tell us what you already have and what your connection to her is.

Have you looked for info anywhere?

Plenty of it on line..........

Have you tried a google search Maureen?
Jan

Does anyone have any info or photographs of Violet Faucheux balerina please??

Regards

Mo
