notes
Thomas wrote Macnamara's Band162 with John Stanford (words), after his wife Ethel's maiden name. It was published in 1916 for the first time, (actually in 1914 I now find!) and later appeared in a film:44 . He is reputed to have damaged the back of his violin with a brick, so that, even if he was starving, he couldn't pawn it! He lived at 15 Thornton Road, Barnett when he married Ethel Macnamara. He left no will. 1911 Kelly's gives: O'Connor, Thomas Francis, 4 Cassio Villas, Puller Road, West Barnet,
