    Default Dale and Vale/ John and Florence McMurray

    Dale and Vale were sthe stage names of my Great Grand parents John and Florence McMurray, they did dancing and comedy routines in British Music Halls between aprx. 1904 - 1912. My GGF also did a solo act under the stage name James Kennady. They were on bills with Gracie Graham, Chung Ling Soo, Myrna Loy etc. Has anyone any information?
