Feck, I’m already 20 somehow. I feel like I’m getting old now

Michael Collins dead. msc now one hit away from victory as well.

Think how old that makes poor old LFN, who remembers debating the Duke of Wellington, feel?

1925 now up on Page 11. A few things of note: Betty Wells, Barbara Long, James Garbutt and Pat Clark are dead, though I can't find when Clark died. Hubert Frank and Dan Jackson are in limbo but I lean towards still alive. Kerima is likely dead. No idea about Michon. Already mentioned earlier in the Hollywood Possibilities thread that Lansbury stopped signing recently and that Michel Bouquet is pretty ill. Two more... Mildred Kornman sounds to be very ill. Leo De Lyon sounds like he may be shuffling off soon as well. (see notes above) All in all, a decent year to look at for some possibilities/new names. Many more are still alive than the previous ones I've done, but a few sound to be just hanging in there by a thread.

Levi Dexter, who was recently hospitalized for a kidney infection, has now been diagnosed with neuralgia.

Obits for Maureen Coverdale who performed as Yvonne Michel, one half of the speciality dance act Yvonne Michel and Erik, who performed here and across the USA: https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/people/farewell-to-maureen-who-featured-alongside-legends-3191930 and https://www.thestage.co.uk/obituaries--archive/obituaries/yvonne-michel Eric died in 2012. IMDB probably needs notified they are both dead.

Yes Indeed ! I didn’t have the time to reach each name before it moves on... this comment summarizes it all

Very disrespectful to go this fast. Remember when they actually cared about their in memorium section

We lost quite a few marvelous cinematographic figures last year... besides that : What in the hell is wrong with them to make a so fast in memoriam section ?

Fairly certain that Dan Jackson emigrated to the United States, was naturalized in Florida and died there in Miami on 18 Nov 2004. Born 2 Dec 1925 in Georgetown, Guyana. There is an Ancestry family tree for this person posted by a granddaughter that includes a photo of that actor, so assuming it is the right person.

Oh, I dunno, he doesn't look THAT old. He looks a cross between David Bradley and William Hartnell in Dr Who.

Do STFU. Your persistent moaning is boring.

So fast it was almost an insult. There were a lot of big names in there across all the elements of film making though. If they had lengthened by 90 secs (or cut the overacted drivel down from beforehand) then i’d have liked a clip of OdeH, Sean, Chadwick and a burst of Ennio Morricone.

@Octopus of Odstock Willie O'Brien Based on the fact that there was only one William O'Brien born in Middlesbrough in 1929, this must be him: William O'Brien b. 1929 Middlesbrough to William O'Brien & Rosalie McGouran m. Joyce H. Newell d. 2015 (aged 86) Doesn't say where he died. However, there are clues: 1) In July 1952, he's listed as a passenger on the steam ship destined for New York from Southampton. This is one year after his professional football career ceased. He's listed as a boiler maker. 2) His wife's family all died in Ontario, Canada and appear to have links to Quebec too. --------------------- Ken McDevitt Living in Blackpool in 2010. No sign of a death since so assume he's still there somewhere. -------------------- Louis Bimpson Alive. Based in Ormskrik, Lancashire as of 2020. -------------------- John Cook Living in Bristol in 2010. Can't find a death since so I assume still alive. -------------------- Keith Thomas Living in Shrewsbury, Shropshire as of 2021. -------------------- Bernard Shaw The family trees are all over the place for this individual so I'm not going to copy and paste what will be an entanglement of false leads, but his own family note he died in Spain. Doesn't say when. -------------------- Roy Evans b. Bernard Royden Evans b. Rotherhithe, Surrey (Hugman's). This could possibly be him. Just says Bernard Evans b. 1929 in Bermondsey, Surrey d. 2016. Doesn't give dates or say where he died, but the GRO confirms it wasn't in England/Wales. Given that there was only one Bernard Evans born in Surrey in 1929, could be him but that's assuming this bland family tree got the year of birth correct for the individual they're referring to. ---------------- Ray Ratcliffe Alive. Still based in St. Helens, Merseyside in 2021. ---------------- John Clowes Still living in Staffordshire in 2010 – Uttoxeter to be precise. Can't find a trace of any subsequent death so assume still living. ---------------- Jimmy Forrest b. James Forrest 14 Nov 1929 Dalkeith, Midlothian (Hugman's) There was a James Forrest born 1927–1929 living in Dalkeith in 2008. There is also a death record for a James Stewart Forrest [note – no middle name on Hugman's so could be a different person?] in 2008 in Midlothian. Could this be him? You'd have to order the certificate to be sure. ---------------- Frank Varney Living in Oxford as of 2005. Can't find a record of death since so assume still living. ---------------- George Price Updated on the Hugman's website since your post to say he died in 1982. Their info: b. George Price 2 Dec 1929 Crewe, England d. Feb 1982 North Carolina, USA I disagree. The individual they're referring to is likely this man: George Curtis Price b. 2 Dec 1929 North Carolina, USA d. Feb 1982 Florida, USA Not the footballer. Another family tree gives us our guy: George Price b. Dec 1929 Crewe/Nantwich, EN Suggests he died in Cheshire at some point. I can't find his death record in the GRO for some reason. This one will merit some more attention. According to that tree, his wife was Joan Elizabeth Bamford b. 6 May 1928 Nantwich, died Jul–Sep 2004 in Cheshire somewhere. ----------------- Johnny Moffatt Not sure. I can tell you where he's definitely NOT – Scotland. There are several John B. Moffatt's in England. One who emigrated to New Brunswick, and a few in the U.S including Vermont. I'm leaning towards alive but who knows. ---------------- That's me done. There was a lot of possible matches on 192 but I didn't post them as they were too sketchy – individuals without middle names or with relatively common names are hard to track down on there, but on the bright side it will mean a few others will be living from the table.

Fuck, I ain't laughed so much for ages. If he gets another ban then I'm outta here.
