Many thanks to Vin Foster, Janice Swannell, and Josef Kemper, who suggested that "Charlie Kunz, the Medley King" was the person I was looking for. I checked him through Google and found a brief biography. I think it is unlikely that he is the right person as he was from the US (b. 18 August 1896, Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA) and did not move to the UK until the 1920s, and my "Aunt Beccy" definitely had a London accent. Maybe, the family story is "Uncle Harry and Aunt Beccy are not related to Charlie Kunz" and someone dropped the NOT or maybe Charlie Kunz was a nephew not a brother. I will probably never know.

KUNZ in Stroud, GLS. The family later changed their name to KING (before WW I). In the late 1940s, Eleanor's brother John (my grandfather) married Henry's sister Rebecca after his first wife had died. > > A family story was that Henry & Beccy had a brother Charlie who was an entertainer. I would estimate that they were born 1870-1890 and probably in London. > > Does anyone know of a Charles/Charlie KING / KUNZ who was involved with entertainment: knowing the way family stories develop, he could have just been the fellow who swept out the stalls after a performance. > > Gil Croome, Ottawa
