My New Wife and My Old Umbrella is ostensibly a play by R.B. Peake[1](1792 – 1847), as reported by F.C.L. Bosman (1928, p.398) from local papers in Cape Town in 1850.
However, Bosman's entry is very confusing, and most probably wrong, since he also mentions My Young Wife and My Old Umbrella by Benjamin Webster, and there is no record of a play by this name by Peake. The two titles appear to refer to the same play: My Young Wife and My Old Umbrella an English translation by Webster of Ma Femme et Mon Parapluie. It was possibly wrongly advertised by the company or wrongly quoted by a reporter.
