found: The Call Boy [official journal of the British Music Hall Society], summer 2019:article "C.W. Murphy, Edwardian song composer" by Andrew Lamb (Murphy is widely recorded under completely wrong Christian names as Clarence Wainwright Murphy; his death registration and probate records reveal quite clearly that he was Charles William Murphy; in "The Story of Francis, Day and Hunter" (1952), John Abbott confirms that he was known as 'Billy'; he was born as plain William Murphy in Manchester on 14 February 1870; quite how 'Charles' came to be added is unclear but by the time of his marriage in 1893 he was already appearing as C.W. Murphy in the pages of "The Era"; in the 1901 census, Billy appears for the first time as Charles W. Murphy, now described as pianist and songewriter; he died during the night of 18/19 June 1913 in Blackpool at the age of 43)
