LETTER: Hunt for relative of composer


A hearty sing-song on the journey home included one well-known to music hall enthusiasts, ‘Lily of Laguna’ by Leslie Stuart, a famous (in his day) composer who I recall, in a film of his life, was played by Robert Morley.
As we were saying goodbye to passengers leaving the coach in Horsham, a man confided in me that Leslie Stuart was his great-grandfather. My grandfather was on the halls and the songs of that period are of great interest to me.

Hide AdI would very much like to meet this passenger again, particularly as the Roadmark programme includes another ‘London in Song’ excursion in March.
The passenger list which would have included his name is no longer on the computer.
If you are able to print my letter, and if he should read it, I would be so grateful to know his name and to make contact with him. Please call 01903 815242 or write to me at 1 Penlands Rise, Steyning, BN44 3PJ.
