On Firefox it shows, and still takes you to her obituary in the Times. If you Google her name and Accrington, it mentions in several obituaries that her first paid acting job was in Accy, though it doesn't say where that was. |

Major Norman Nuttall - (born 1893 Accrington, Lancs, died 18 Sept 1944.)
Employed by local cloth printer and dyer and just before WW1 was seconded to their Karachi 'office'. On outbreak of war, family folk lore has it that he joined local 'Balukistan' regiment and served out duration as a Captain in (undivided) India. Photos survive in military attire, including a WW2 oil portrait that shows him wearing 1914-18 medal ribbon and another before it, presumably that which he would have earned out in India.
