Hi Stuart,
Hey thank you for that.
I'm still a bit miffed. Been telling people for years I was mostly Irish.
That's great, I had worked out that he second-married his cousin. I have a picture of Sam Collins tombstone in Kensal Green cemetery, I have also obtained photocopies in colour from the Bodleian library of a few of the songs which Sam Collins was famous for singing. Not the Rocky Road to Dublin however. Have also bought several music hall books where Sam and the music hall are mentioned. Did you know he was reputed to haunt the hall?
I am in the middle of my worst work month so won't be able to look at this properly until February.
