Isobel James

I was amazed when I came on this site to see that my Grandmother (stage name Isobel James) appeared in a play with both my Mother Aletha Orr and Father (stage name Thomas Reynor) appeared in a play together at Wolverhampton Rep. Jimmy, as we knew her, was actually called Isobella Healy. My father was Arnold Reynor Healy. Jimmy had a life in the Theatre which was very adventurous. She appeared in Music Hall in the 1890’s and then took to serious theatre along with her husband in the early 1900’s. They toured South Africa with the then ‘new play’ by Bernard Shaw Arms and the Man amongst many other performances over the years. My knowledge runs a bit thin exactly.
