Knowledge of Olga?

Published: 7 October, 2010

• I AM researching and writing a book on the life of Australian-born actress Olga Brandon (1865-1906), a former resident of Camden Town at least in the later part of her life. 

Miss Brandon was a student at Sacred Heart College in Geelong, Australia, in the 1870s, where I currently teach. She had a successful stage acting career of some 20 years in New York and London. Her obituary records that she died of consumption in somewhat destitute circumstances at 97 College Green (now College Place), Camden Town, on May 8 1906. 

I was hoping there may be one or more of your readers who have some historical knowledge of Miss Brandon’s residence in Camden Town or any other aspects of her life.
