''[[My New Wife and My Old Umbrella]]'' is ostensibly a play by R.B. Peake[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Brinsley_Peake](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.
