SAMUELSON-WYLIE Lauri; Southport ENG; 1880 The well-known variety player and writer Lauri WYLIE was born Morris or Laurence Samuelson on 25 May 1880 in Southport. This is, of course, a problem. The GRO doesn't do Southport. The story gopes that the registers were destroyed in a fire, so no-one from those years registered in Southport exists in legality. But Lauri is there with papa and brother Julian in the 1881 census. For once, its not a birth I'm chasing here, its a death. Whatever happened to Lauri Wylie??? I know he married Rosa Rosetti (b Italy) .. I know he was still around in 1948... and then? Anyone know? Thanks That's enough for today.

ANDERSON Arthur; ENG; 1942 Hello. Its me again. With another helping of Lost Theatricals.. I drew a total blank with my last batch. here's hoping for better lukc with this one. Let's start with ARTHUR [A?] ANDERSON He wrote the songwords for a lot of popular songs in the early decades of the century, but he seems to have utterly disappeared thereafter. All I have managed to discover, from the performing rights society is that 'he died in 1942'. THE GRO registers show Arthur Andersons of a sufficient age signing off in the Don Valley (aged 62), Biggleswade (76), and Anglesey (64). Plus lots more with middle initials, or too young.. Is there anyone Anderson (which just happens, similarly, to be my grandma's name) out there who's collecting the royalties for songs such as 'Somewhere in France with You" written by his or her granddad?
