    This https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/49260488:8753 seems to suggest she married and became Winifred Meeluish (possibly a mistranscription of Melluish or Melhuish). No one matching in the index for anything like that as far back as I can go (to 1984). The 17 July 2017 seems to be false though. Beyond that, I can't really do much.

    Recent image of Maori King Tūheitia Paki, judge for yourself: Samoa's Tui Ātua Tupua Tamasese Efi attended the same event and seemed to be doing fine. Edit: Doesn't deserve its own post so putting it here, Big Brother Finland competitor Jasmiina Yildiz has cervical cancer spread to the lymph nodes.

    He nearly died of COVID in 2020 and looked extremely frail last April: https://youtu.be/rZGxgUFTPdU?t=811 He wasn't gonna make 90. Should have been on the list IMO. (Which I'm allowed to say given I argued for him to be picked and he's on my shadow list. )

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    My annual review, stressing it's just personal preference, Part 1. Semi-Final 1 There is much to dislike. Serbia, Ireland and Slovenia have gone completely nuts and are easily bottom of my list. Ukraine have a dirge and a rap combined - Jesus. There's plenty of meh songs too. Australia, Iceland, Azerbaijan and Portugal - all a bit too pedestrian and predictable. Cyprus hauls itself up a little bit from that pack, the message is terrible and left me confused - is she saying a liar is a good thing, or is it making her better? Moldova I rather liked - bunch of dames who pull out and play violins out of nowhere, and best of the slower numbers. And now to the top. Certified bangers - Lithuania - absolutely fine, should pass through to the final no problem, although possibly hampered by being early on the draw. Finland have a banger and novelty and the staging will definitely help it. Well worth a listen/watch. Luxembourg go last in the semi, and that's no issue because it's a great tune. I'm normally no fan of dual language songs but this absolutely works - loved it. My personal fave turns out to be Poland - it's early on, but I really enjoyed it, it all makes sense. Tempo switches might hinder it a little. Total sleeper: Croatia. The lyrics are not, in general the best, especially at the start. But it has a great chorus and beat. And who cannot love a song where the singer meows at a cat and asks the cat to meow back? (Remember wolf and banana?). If this doesn't breeze through, I'll be astonished. I'll pop back when I've listened to the second semi.

    Not sure how you can say it was "overdue". He's in the remake of The Color Purple which literally just came out at the cinema.

    IMDb lists her birth date as 29 May 1921, and there's an Elizabeth Kelly born on that date living in Newcastle at the time of the 1939 register. She married John B 'Peter' Trower in 1943. There's a marriage notice in the Journal that notes her as already being a 'respected actress' so she may have continued performing with her maiden name into the era of television. Anyway, her marriage record lists her maiden initial as 'H', and there's a matching birth in Newcastle on 29 May 1921 for an Elizabeth Hutton Kelly. There's an Elizabeth H Trower born 1921-23 living in Scarborough until at least 2014 on the electoral register. No matching deaths up until Q3 2023, so seems like there's a good chance she's still with us if I've in fact followed the right person here.

    Forgive me if this has been brought up before, but for some reason the search function isn't allowing me to search her full name but there is a GRO death record for an Elizabeth C. Kelly born in 1921 died Q4 2016 in south Tyneside (Kelly was supposedly born in Newcastle). It's not too far before the date of that last confirmed autograph which could have been written before she died and then not posted til afterwards or delayed.

    The Nolan and his missus one's are very odd. Not like they couldn't have been done on the Kings Birthday list.

    March 2017 according to StarTiger. I'm sure there are several happy birthday posts on Facebook and Twitter after then but not sure how reliable they are.

    @Master Obit, another one that's puzzled me. An historic edit to the page of cricketer Mary Johnson (wiki) said she died on 17 July 2017, aged 92. I couldn't match her up with anyone in the GRO, but there's a good chance she married and took on a new surnamed. Also, her real first name, Winifred, could have been dropped in later records, making her harder to find as Mary is a very common name for women born in the 1920s!

    The 4th Death of 2024

    I reckon that this year will be the most dry. Not even one surprising death so far.
