This picture was taken in the early 1900s at a theatre in the Notting Hill area of London. Gabrielle was an actress.
The 1881 census shows Gabrielle, 4, living at 7 Arthur St. in St Giles in The Fields in London with her family- Jules, 45, Ellen, 44, Edward, 9 and Georges, 8. The 1891 census shows Gabrielle, 14, living at Pancras, Tottenham Court.
In September 1894, Gabrielle married Richard Arthur Churchill in Westminster, London.
The 1901 census shows Gabrielle, 23, living in St Marylebone with husband Richard, 28. Richard was employed with the London Postal Service and living at 16 High Street in Marlyebone. The 1901 census lists their children- Randolph, 5, Olga, 4, Violet, 3, and Richard, 1. Her parents, Jules and Ellen, and her brother Georges and his wife Alice (ne Webb) are also listed as living nearby in St. Marylebone at 35 Blandford Square.
In 1910, Ellen Carre (ne Larkins), mother of Gabrielle, died at the age of 73 in Kensington, London. Jules went to French Convalescent Home in Brighton.
Sadly, in 1916, during WWI, Randolph Aubrey Maxmillian, was killed at the age of 21 on the H.M.S. Russell. The Duncan class battleship was hit by a mine at the entrance of the Maltese Harbour of Valletta and sank.
Olga Muriel Gladys Evangeline (b. September 1896) married Phillipe A. Spies in March 1918 in Hammersmith, Greater London.
Violet Gabrielle (b. 1898) married Harry Lloyd. Sydney Hamilton Spencer (b. 1901, d. 1984?)
Richard Stanley Winston (b. 1900) and Sybil May Dorothy were living in Hastings, East Sussex.
We do know that Gabrielle’s son, Richard Stanley W Churchill, also known as Uncle Stan, died in 1995 at the age of 95. He was living with his sister Sybil in Hastings in East Sussex and remained in contact with the Canadian side of the family passing down a lot of the family history.
If there are surviving family members on Gabrielle’s side, they would be likely the Churchills or Spies of London.
