Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Lily of Laguna (Leslie Stuart)
Yes, now that is what I recall I was told by my grandmother (Jesse Amelia Elliott (trapeze)). She told me G H Elliot (the chocolate coloured coon), Lil Elliot and Marie Lloyd and the Great Goulberts were all related to her thus myself also. The Gaitey Theatre, The London Palladium and the Midsummers nights dream were all mentioned wherein my grandfather (her husband) was the props master who also made all the false heads for the show. His name was Richard Wood who also was the goal keeper for Clapton Orient before they became the Leyton O's. There is a Bill Elliot my grandmother's brother whom I met who also had a son Jock Elliot who I also met in the 60's who played every musical instrument. Tony
