Editing Henry Travers (section)

==Early life==
Travers was born in [[Prudhoe]], [[Northumberland]], and was the son of Daniel Heagerty,<ref name="samp" /> a doctor originally from Ireland, and Ellen Gillman Hornibrook, also a native of Ireland (County Cork). She was previously married to William H. Belcher, a merchant seaman. He died in 1869. Travers had a half-brother, Samuel William Belcher, by his mother's previous marriage. He had a brother, Daniel George Belsaigne Heagerty, and a sister, Mary Sophia Maude Heagerty. Travers grew up in [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]], and many biographies wrongly report him as being born there.<ref>GRO Register of Births, Marriages and Death and 1881 Census for England & Wales</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/you-know-one-most-famous-10655045| title=Did you know one of the most famous Christmas angels was born in Prudhoe?| first=Jeremy| last=Armstrong| date=27 December 2015| newspaper=[[Evening Chronicle]]| location=Newcastle Upon Tyne| access-date=17 January 2017}}</ref>

The Travers family lived in Prudhoe for a couple of years before moving from [[West Woodburn|Woodburn]], on the [[A68 road]] near [[Corsenside]], Northumberland, in about 1866, to [[Tweedmouth]], Berwick-upon-Tweed, in about 1876. Initially, he trained as an [[architect]]<ref name="samp" /> at Berwick, before taking to the stage under the name Henry Travers.
