Alfreda Chippendale

Alfreda "Alfy" Chippendale (née Schoolcraft; 1842 – November 9, 1887) was an American stage actress who made appearances in the United States and England.

[1] Her father, Henry R. Schoolcraft was an actor who appeared in shows in Mobile, Alabama, and at Crisp's Gaiety Theater in New Orleans and who despite his death in 1854, saw to it that his son Luke Schoolcraft and his daughters Jane and Alfreda all pursued careers in theater.

She appeared at the Winter Garden in New York City as Nanette in the burlesque Camille in June 1863.

In the early 1870s, Chippendale was traveling with the Irwin Selden Combination when she married its proprietor William Calder on December 8, 1872, in St. Charles County, Missouri.

They sailed on August 3, 1878, and subsequently they appeared in London in Uncle Tom's Cabin and Rip Van Winkle.
