Correct! and well done with the clues. I thought the "living next door to" Alice might have struck a light with someone, but was obviously being too subtle.

NB third son was Caryl and not Carly; not, contrary to popular belief, a nod to Lewis Carroll. Alice's ashes are buried in Lyndhurst churchyard.

Chris Normsn (ex Smokie lead singer) a gig I attended  at Leeds City Varieties May 2019. He performed that song as part of the set, along with other Smokie songs and solo stuff.

Just catching up... for a moment I thought I'd gotten the wrong thread and was on the music thread.

Sorry I missed Alan Knyveton Hargreaves. I had been thinking about posting him (or his brother).

There's still the brother, but perhaps best leave it for a while? :D

Anyone know this one? Well known for being on the fiddle.

I'd put a small wager on that being Benjamin Kubelsky, a Chicago born violinist noted for his generosity with money.

Pete.

An interesting thought, I have removed the reference to a cryptic clue.

You could have made it a large one Pete; right on the button. Well done 👍

At the risk of hogging the thread, but to keep things moving, how about this gentleman?

Not right, Jack (Peter Sellers in I'm All Right, Jack always reminds me of A.S.)

That's one of the interests, though he was a surgeon probationer on first entry (didn't stay in for long).

His son, Vincent, was a well known biographer.  While thought by some to be a bit controversial, I think he was quite good.

Hi guys, 

we've had her already... with another picture I guess... those cheekbones and that smile (above all the smile) are so remarkable and recognisable... I'm going to hold my tongue for now, to give y'all a fair chance...
