Violet Englefield

Violet Englefield (1881 – 22 March 1946) (born as Maud Violet Englefield) was a British actress and singer known for her musical theatre performances in London's West End and on Broadway in the first two decades of the 20th century.

Born in Hounslow, she was the daughter of Joel Englefield (1846-1912), an army bandmaster, and Ellen Cashel Cross (née Bevan);[1] all of their children were trained musicians.

Deep in debt, in 1916, the couple left Liverpool for New York, intending to settle there permanently, but their young son did not leave Britain to join them until early 1917.

In 1930, the family was living in Norwalk, Connecticut, and Jerrard Allen and Violet Englefield were registered US citizens by this date.
