Thank you for this, Scotmum.  There were several deaths in England that might have him, but of course, impossible to know.

Hi, Kitty Storrow was my grandmother.  I have some stage photographs of her and one, if I can find it, of James William Morrison Gillespie.  I am not researching the family history but just stumbled on this thread searching for the sheet music I know existed for her while with John Tiller’s group.  I would be interested to know if you have any connection to the family.  Let me know if you want me to post the photos here.
