Thanks for considering me your friend, Russ.

I wonder if there is any truth in the family legend that my distant relative Alfred Peck Stevens aka Alfred Glanville Vance aka The Great Vance, played a William Temlett Snr. zither-banjo shortly before his death on stage at The Sun Music Hall in 1888? 

Black Jake of Norwich. 

Wikipedia : Vance suffered from heart disease, and died on 26 December 1888, at the age of about 49, while performing on the stage of the Sun Music Hall, Knightsbridge.^[1][3] He is buried in Nunhead Cemetery, although his headstone no longer exists.
