- Salmon, Eliza
[E] Salmon, Eliza, born Munday, soprano
vocalist, was born at Oxford about 1787. She
studied under John Ashley, and made her
debut at the Lenten Oratorio Concerts, Covent
Garden, London, in 1803. In 1805 she mar-
ried James Salmon, a singer, and sang at the
principal London and provincial concerts till
1824, when her voice was lost, through a break
down of her nervous system, caused by in-
temperance ; she married the Rev. Mr. Hinde,
after Salmon's death. On the death of her
second husband she became destitute, and
after various ineffectual attem^Dts to regain a
position she died at Chelsea, June 5, 1849.
Her husband, Jambs Salmon, was organist of
St. Peter's, Liverpool, 1805. He was latterly
in very embarrassed circumstances, and went
to the West Indies as a soldier, where he died.
His brother William (born, 1789 ; died,
Windsor, January 26, 1858), was a singer and
teacher.entry id: 361-L-40
