Sources towards a play listing

I think it would, as the article moves on towards eventual GA status, be good to add a table of performances - as producer, director or actor, and perhaps design and costume design and making too. I will use this section to start to lay down some potential items:

Weds 9 June 1926: Bealtaine (Seamus MacCall), Molesworth Hall, Dublin / Producer (stage design, costume design both MacCall) / Irish Times, 11 June 1926, p.8
Mon 3 May 1927 (and onwards): The Constant Nymph (Margaret Kennedy, Basil Kean, from a novel by the former), Abbey Theatre, Dublin / Actor: as Enda Leyburn (singing role) / Irish Times, 24 May 1927, p.6
(Gate Theatre at the Peacock stage [of the Abbey Theatre], Dublin, season 1 [14 Oct. 1928 – 20 Jan. 1929; 7 plays], season 2 [Mar. 1929 – early Jun. 1929]) / Irish Times, 26 February 1929, p.4
13? July 1943: Milk and Honey (Don Alwyn), Gate Theatre, Dublin / Producer / Irish Times, 14 July 1943
Sun 21 April 1946: Granite (Clemence Dane), Dublin Theatre Group at the Gate Theatre, Dublin / Producer (and director?) / Irish Times, 22 April 1946

Cabaret and comedie-chantant:

from Tues. 19 Jan. 1943: Social Art Club, 13 Harcourt Street - First night ("cafe-comedie-chantant" - sketches with intervening songs and coffee service), with performers including son Mitchel and his wife Muriel Cogley / producer-director / Irish Times, 20 Jan. 1943, p.3

And firsts

Accumulating also some key achievements for a future thematic section:

first Irish staging of Anton Chekov's The Cherry Orchard
first professional production of a play by Dorothy Macardle - Asthara; 1918
first presentation in Ireland of the drama of Swedish leading playwright and author, Stig Dagerman

Family data

From the records in the Civil Archive in Santiago: Marriage: 16 Dec 1909 - Record 724 / Husband - name: Federico José, paternal surname: Cogley (father: Aidan Cogley), maternal surname: Boyle (mother: Margarita Boyle), age: 27, status: single, profession: businessman / Wife - name: Juana María, paternal surname: Bannard (father: Tomás Bannard), maternal surname: Furlong (mother: Maria Furlong), age: 26, status: single / Place: Santiago, Metro. de Santiago / Witnesses: Jose Robertson, Enrique Patterson.

Now we just need secondary sources to link it all together, Frederick Joseph, Jeanne Marie Bannard, perhaps aided by checks on the witnesses, Joseph Robertson and Henry Patterson. Too late today, but perhaps tomorrow. SeoR (talk) 00:11, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And the younger child's birth. Not uncommon then (in Ireland it happened with Irish vs English) when people would often just alter a use name to suit the language without changing it legally, so all the adults are "Hispanified"; in English, this was Mitchel Victor per later life (he did not use "John" in any record yet seen):

Birth, 28 July 1910 / Name: Juan Mitchel Victor Cogley Bannard, sex: male / Father: Federico José Cogley, age: 28, profession: businessman, nationality: Irish / Mother: Juana Maria Bannard de Cogley, / Recoleta, Santiago / Informant: father / Witnesses: Enrique Selwign Patterson, Juan MacDonald

It would be good to secure the remaining family data, on Fred J. Cogley, and on Fergus - engineer, actor and producer... SeoR (talk) 14:45, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Read parts of the military pension file, and these confirm (from a sighted birth certificate), date of birth: 5/5/1884 and addresses (Dublin, 1917-): 113 St Stephen's Green / 14 Effra Road, Rathmines (home of Mitchel and Muriel Cogley) / 59 Upper Leeson Street. A medal in respect of Volunteer service is also noted. Date of marriage confirmed as 16 Dec. 1909. A military pension was granted for aspects of service 1920-1923, claims for 1918-1920 were noted but no pension award made for these.

Further confirming date of birth, as of 13 May 1954, and several times thereafter, a further claim was made on basis of reaching age 70. At first refused against annual means of 27+ pounds from the original military pension and 50 pounds from the son(s), and small side income, the supplement application was later repeatedly rejected (the threshold was means of 78 pounds or less, including accommodation). Final pension was paid to family towards funeral costs. SeoR (talk) 00:16, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Father

Daisy may have been born in Paris (her parents certainly married there) but her father was not IPA Banaʁ but IPA Bannard (hard d), from southern Northants., near Oxford.

Thank you, that's very interesting. Sorry for a delayed reply, I was away from this article for a few days. Would you have a source you could share, or point to? SeoR (talk)
