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?
Wikipedia : Vance suffered fromheart 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 inNunhead Cemetery, although his headstone no longer exists.
