Thread Name: Lyr Req: Songs by Harry Clifton (1832-1872)
Subject: RE: Help: Harry Clifton Songwriter (1832-1872)
Hello, I would be delighted if anyone could give me information about Mr William Halliday, who wrote the music for Mr Harry Clifton's song "Awfully Jolly". He may be the same William Halliday who was the pianist in Mr Harry Clifton's Concert Company - Jan 10 1869. I would like to know if this William Halliday is the same person as my great-grandfather William Halliday (1842-1878) who was a music shop keeper and piano maker on Whitechapel Road in the East End of London. One of his sons went into Music Hall, so I think it is possible.
