Thanks for the feedback - I'm now seeking information on who might own the copyright to his music as I saw digitised music available for download on a website with a note stating 'copyright may still apply' He died in 1951/2 - I need to check my records - I have also recently obtained WW1 military records from the NZ Archives but these don't mention his time spent with the British Army in India from around 1900 - 1907 after his marriage in Bombay to Sarah Gatley from Stockport, Manchester who was working in India as a "lady's companion". The story is unfolding - but slowly! Cheers Ainslie. ps excuse typos in the previous messages - sent in haste without checking first!!!!
