postscript: This is worse than eating peanuts! Found the jockey (1941) and opera composer of "Bilby's Doll". Search on Thomas Bilby, middlesex. (google)

From the Middlesex Eng. Parish Clerk Index p.154 Bilby, Thomas, d. 1872. Schoolmaster, succeeded by his son 1872-1907. Writer of hymns. Source, PC (I assume parish clerk) p.154.

Is this the right time frame? Elaine
