 Spencer David Nelson Davies (born 17 July 1939) is a British musician and multi-instrumentalist, and the founder of the 1960s rock band, the Spencer Davis Group. Davis dropped the E in Davies and became Davis because in England and in the US his last name was pronounced "Daveys" and not Davis as in the Welsh pronunciation. Davis was born in Swansea, in south Wales |

 William Gilbert "W. G." Grace, MRCS, LRCP (18 July 1848 – 23 October 1915) was an English amateur cricketer who was important in the development of the sport and is widely considered one of its greatest-ever players. Universally known as "W. G.", he played first-class cricket for a record-equalling 44 seasons, from 1865 to 1908, during which he captained England, Gloucestershire, the Gentlemen, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the United South of England Eleven (USEE) and several other teams. He came from a cricketing family: the appearance in 1880 of W. G. with E. M. Grace, one of his elder brothers, and Fred Grace, his younger brother, was the first time three brothers played together in Test cricket. |

Yana...remember her! Ironic that she was gay being such a sex kitten! Allegedly the lover of George Formby, who was unaware of the fact that she was living with a American actress at the time! The 50s weren't so dull after all...😁

His daughter lived in Mousehole and her children attended the local primary school, along with my grandchildren We were asked to help to raise funds for the school so we organised and ran pub quizzes which like Topsy, grew and grew and grew in popularity becoming quite a social event in the local calendar If John was visiting his daughter and it was a quiz night he would come along with her to take part We just treated him like all the others who were there, and he appreciated that A very charming man
