• General Notes

  Memory from Vivien Scott:
  "Roger was in the police. He used to live in Hanley Swan in the Cotswolds when married to Jean then when he married again to Christine moved to Stockport.
  He went to boarding school from 3 years old as his mother was widowed. I used to see him in the holidays, I can remember he took me up to London for the day when I was about 10, he was about 4 years older than me. He lived with Aunty Dot just around the corner from us in Leyton. I also remember we dressed up and sang to our parents at one time until I got stage fright and burst into tears. However when Roger came to stay with us in Aldeburgh a few years back he remembered none of this so I guess our showbiz career was going nowhere!"
