Dear All,

In my search for a Charles TOLHURST, never mentioned by my grandparents
from whom I have a great deal of other family history, I have few clues.
The first I have already queried on the Sussex List, a certificate from the
1932 Hastings Music Festival.
The other clue consists of two books with his name written in the front.

One of the books, 'A Wandering Minstrel 1' 'Vagrom Sketches by 'Casey'
(Walter Hampson)' was published by the National Labour Press Ltd. There is
however no date of publication. Walter Hampson known as 'Casey' wrote for
the 'Labour Leader'.

Does anyone have any idea s about this book? When would it have been
published? Would its distribution have been limited to labour supporters
in any way? How could I find out?

Yours,
Joanna Hartley (nee TOLHURST)
Aberdeenshire
