Last updated: 09.06.25
All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Marie Effie Wilton from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was an English actress and theatre manager. Her stage name was Marie Wilton until her marriage in December 1867 to Squire Bancroft, when she usually appeared under the name Lady Bancroft. She has been featured on 3 works published between 1858 and 1908.
Her portrait on the left is taken from Good-Bye, and God Bless You, Jack (1899) music by Bennett Scott, words by J. P. Harrington and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England.
