Kemble family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kemble is the name of a family of English actors, of whom the most famous were Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) and her brother John Philip Kemble (1757-1823), the two eldest of the twelve children of Roger Kemble (1721-1802), a strolling player and manager, who in 1753 married an actress, Sarah Wood. Three younger children of Roger, Stephen Kemble (1758-1822), Charles Kemble (1775-1854), and Elizabeth Whitlock (1761-1836), were also actors.

The tradition was continued by two daughters of Charles Kemble: Frances Anne Kemble (Fanny Kemble) (1800-1893) and Adelaide Kemble (1815-1879), an opera singer.

Among later members of the Kemble family, mention may also be made of Charles Kemble's grandson, Henry Kemble (1848-1907), a sterling and popular London actor.
