Sarah Harlowe

Under the name of Mrs.Harlowe, she made her first appearance on the stage at Colnbrook, near Slough, in 1787, removing in the following year to Windsor, where she met Francis Godolphin Waldron (1743–1818) and became his wife.

In 1792, she was at the Haymarket, whence she went to Drury Lane, where she sustained the characters of smart chambermaids, romps, shrews, and old women, and then removed to the English Opera House.

At the opening of the Royalty Theatre, Wellclose Square, under the direction of William Macready, the elder, on 27 November 1797, Mrs. Harlowe played in the musical sketch entitled Amurath the Fourth, or the Turkish Harem, and also in the pantomime, the Festival of Hope, or Harlequin in a Bottle.

Her best parts were Lucy in the Rivals, the Widow Warren in the Road to Ruin, Miss Mac-Tab in The Poor Gentleman, and the old Lady Lambert in the Hypocrite.

She died suddenly of heart disease at her lodgings, 5 Albert Place, Gravesend, Kent, on 2 January 1852, aged 86, and her death was registered at Somerset House as that of "Sarah Waldron, annuitant".
