* which reminds me, you might find the whole text of the other books on a site in a country with different copyright laws, e.g., Australia. I don't advocate downloading them if your country has stricter copyright laws, but I imagine you could read them online if the whole text is available.

Many thanks for the details of the 1926 trip to America for the Eucharistic Congress in Chicago  and thanks to SANDRA for all these additional sources that I have never explored.  I shall follow up all these references.

On the Catholic Who's Who, there is a reference to him being a founding member of the "Historical Research Society"  and "is Hon. Sec. of Guild of Our Lady of Ransom"

Does the HRS still exist or has it merged with another similar outfit?

It's a tough thing to google, but I did find this reference at the bottom of the first page, but from 1893.

https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_American_Catholic_Quarterly_Review/IdcRAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=catholic+%22Historical+Research+Society%22&pg=PA788&printsec=frontcover

I have no idea if it is still around. I grew up Catholic in the United States and never heard of it, if that is any help. I'm 73.

OLDOHIOHOME.
many thanks for finding this reference to HRS.  With this further information, I shall now enquire of the Westminster Diocese archivist as the HRS sounds as if it was a Catholic established initiative to give public lectures rather than to promote serious historical research.

Until your find, I had only one brief mention of HRS in 1987 book 'Opening the Scrolls' [sadly without an index].
