Ever since Christmas 2007, just before actually, I have been finding more out about my family and ancestors. I sent an email to the "Stage" requesting words and music to the song "Nosey Parker" and from this I have received such a remarkable response. Although I did not get the words and music required, at first, I did receive a response from a cousin I did not know I had. Sylvia is the grand Daughter of Happy Tom Parker, who sang "Nosey Parker" on the music hall stages throughout the country. I also received an email suggesting I try the Bodleian Library at Oxford for a copy of the song, they even gave me a telephone number to call. I called and in less than a week I received a copy of the words and music to the song. I am now in the process of learning the words and tune in order to sing it at my local folk club.
