Hi
My great aunt Annie Mortimer m. Sam Mortimer who was born in Bradford ca 1848. Sam a stuff merchant lived at 57 Ash Grove Bradford. He died 11 January 1901 aged 52 by which time he had remarried and lived at Final Royd, Birkenshaw, Yorkshire. I have not heard that he was a musician.
His twin son Reginald Andrea MORTIMER married Annie CROMPTON 3 April 1920
at Little Horton Congregational Church, Horton Lane Bradford. I have not traced any children. I have no idea if he bought Leeds Hall after WW2. I have heard there was a football referee called Reg Mortimer but again I do not know if my relative was the same man.
Sorry I have no more information about Reginal Andrea. Regards, Babs
