Where and when was Lizzie Wilson, the 1890's vaudeville singer, born?

Don't tell me about any other Lizzie Wilsons, and please include a reference that I can check. I know she performed at Tony Pastor's in New York City, toured, and had a revival in the 1930's. But I don't know where and when she was born.

If you are referring to Lizzie Evans, who was a Vaudeville singer in the 1890's and an actress, who played the role of Lucy Wilson?

No, Lizzie Wilson. She may have been born under another name for all I know, but Lizzie Wilson was how she was known in vaudeville.

surely you are referring to lizzie evans, she is the only one whose name is close who did a show at tony pastor's in the late 1800's, there are a few books about tony pastor available for purchase online. Here is a photo of her to see if this is who you are referring to

No, this is someone else. here is a link http://www.archive.org/stream/vaudevillefromth013372mbp/vaudevillefromth013372mbp_djvu.txt in which Lizzie Wilson is listed as an old star coming back in "Memory Lane" I have found a couple of online newclips, including a NY Times, but nothing with a biography. Her specialty was a German or "Dutch" comedy act.

The link shows a Lizzie Wilson Goodenough, who worked as a domestic help! I don't think that qualifies as a vaudeville act!

U sure u have the right name? Lizzie Wilson isn't on the Wikipedia list of Vaudeville performers, nor on the following page:

Yes I am sure. If it was easy to find on the web I would have found it myself. I am hoping someone has access to libraries or paid online newspaper archives.

From the NY Times March 5, 1922: "Names that winked at New Yorkers from the electric signs of old Tony Pastor's as long as thirty years ago will be introduced to present-day audiences when a vaudeville act is launched at the Broadway tomorrow featuring Barney Fagan, the original Corinne, Tony Williams, Joe Sullivan, and Lizzie Wilson. "Stars of Yesterday" will be the name of it."
