£25 offered for sheet music
« on: Sunday 15 September 13 11:39 BST (UK) »
Between 1911 and 1914 my paternal grandfather, S.V. Murrill [Stanley Victor Murrill] had 4 songs published in sheet music form. I will pay £15 for any of them in any readable condition, £25 - £30 if in really good condition.

I have tried for years all of the firms who sell old sheet music.

The pieces are:
You were my little sweetheart - published by Rossi & Spinelli 1912 - No. 60 in their Favourite Edition series - I might pay up to £30 for this one in fine condition as it pictures my grandfather
I Cannot Part from Mother - also Rossii Spinelli 1911. No. 52
Have Yer Seen Ma Dusky Girl - R&S 1911, No.51
Your King and country Need you More than I do - E. Marks & Son 1914 - also up to £30 as it pictures my grandmother

I have all of these in photcopied form.

There may be others that I have not discovered. I will pay at least £15 for any other by Stanley V. Murrill.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
