Find Ancestors

Please can anyone help. I am trying to find out about Edith May Searle born 30th March 1888 Lewisham died 1957 Kent who was a singer in her younger days before she married in 1919. Her stage name was Eileen Durham and I would like to find details of where she performed under that name.
I have all the family tree info but can find nothing about her singing days.
She was married to John Grosvenor Ellis (1873-1954) on the 5th June 1919 at
St. Saviour Paddington London.
Thank you Pam
