Theresa Mary Doughty Tichborne or Orton (1866–1939), was the daughter of Arthur Orton, a claimant in the 19th century Tichborne case, who continued her father's claim into the 1920s. ==Early life== Born Agnes, in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia, in 1866,〔1881 England Census (database on-line). (Ancestry )〕 Tichborne was the eldest daughter of Arthur Orton. She was nine months old when she traveled to England with her parents after her father was invited to meet with Lady Tichborne, mother of the missing Tichborne heir.〔 Theresa recalled that one of her earliest memories was being called 'Little Miss Tichborne' when she stayed with Lady Tichborne 'on several occasions'.〔 At age five she was included in the 1871 English census as 'Teresa M. Tichborne',〔1871 England Census (database on-line). (Ancestry )〕 and used the name Theresa Mary Doughty Tichborne, or Theresa Mary Agnes Doughty Tichborne, in the years that followed.〔 In her professional life, as an actress, she also used the names 'Agnes Tichborne' and the surname 'Alexander'.〔〔 In 1884, her father, who had been found not to be the missing heir, Sir Roger Tichborne, and sentenced for perjury in 1873, was released, and Theresa acted as his secretary during his mid-1880s lecture tour.〔 Theresa later said she left the secretary's role because of her father's drunkenness and personal conduct.〔 She was also to reveal, in 1924, that it was during this time that her father told her that he was Sir Roger Tichborne, and had shot, and killed, Arthur Orton, in Australia before taking his name.〔 Following her departure from the lecture tour she worked as an actress,〔〔 and a barmaid.〔 And, for a time, in the late 1880s, socialised with Sir Henry Tichborne, known as Goldie, a grandson of Lady Tichborne, who had succeeded to the Tichborne baronetcy after his father's death, and Arthur Orton's unsuccessful claim.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theresa Doughty Tichborne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
