This article appears in Volume V19, Page 709 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NISBETT, LOUISA CRANSTOUN (18121858) ,
English
  actress, was the daughter of Frederick Hayes Macnamara, an actor, whose stage name was Mordaunt. As Miss Mordaunt she had considerable experience, especially in Shakesperean leading parts, before her first London
appearance
  in 1829 at
Drury
 
Lane
  as Widow Cheerly in Andrew
Cherry
 's (17621812) Soldier's Daughter. Her beauty and high spirits made her at once a popular favourite in a large number of comedy parts, until in 1831 she was married to Captain John Alexander
Nisbett
  and retired. Her
husband
 , however, was killed the same year by a fall from his
horse
 , and she was compelled to reappear on the stage in 1832. She was the
original
  Lady Gay Spanker of London Assurance (1841). In 1844 she withdrew again from the stage to marry Sir William Boothby, Bart., but on his death (1846),, returned to play Lady Teazle, Portia,
Constantine
  in the Love Chase, Helen and Julia in the Hunchback. It was in the first of these parts that she made her final
appearance
  in 1851. She died on the 15th of January 1858.
