South Yorkshire Times, May 14, 1949
Quintet
The record of the Ross family of Mexborough, having three members actively associated on the South Yorkshire amateur stage has been beaten by the Wilson family only three miles away at Conisbrough.
The Wilson family can claim five members engaged on the stage or behind the scenes in no fewer than three local groups: the South Yorkshire Musical Comedy Society, Doncaster Literary Society and St. Peter’s Players, Conisbrough.
Details of this achievement were given me on Wednesday by a member of the family, Grace Kitson (picture), a playing member of the South Yorkshire Musical Comedy Society and of St. Peter’s Players.
She told me that the other actor and actress members of the family were her brother and his wife, Arthur and Kathleen Wilson, Old Road, Conisbrough. The non-playing members of the family were her husband, Edwin Kitson, Waverley Terrace, Station Road Conisbrough, and her mother, Mrs: Frances Wilson, Elm Green Lane, Conisbrough.
