Crossley, Syd. Died Bolenowe Nov 1960. (Sep 07 Red)
Syd Crossley had no children and had lived in Bolenowe since 1948. His second wife died 1955 at the same address, viz. Crossley Cottage, Bolenowe nr. Troon. Syd played minor character parts in over 100 films up to 1942, inc'g in Hollywood 1924-1929. He toured with ENSA in the Middle East in WWII. I am keen to find the forenames and birth names of his two wives. Syd started in English music hall in 1900 and was then known as The Long Tall Comic. In 1938 he was living in Colindale, London NW9. His collection of cinema stills was displayed at King's Cinema Camborne following his death at Barncoose Hospital, Redruth. The only mourners at his service at Penmount Crematorium were Walter Edwards, shopkeeper of Troon, and Mrs J Gessey, a near neighbour.
