Are the two brothers mentioned in these threads, Franny and Tom Franks, any relation to the late Franks brothers, Francis and Tom. Both these brothers were very talented in their own right. Francis in comedy and Tom played instruments. During the war years the two brothers produced top class musical and variety shows at the Hippodrome. "Anchors Aweigh" and "Mikado" were two that come to mind. These shows were backed by Howard & Bulloughs. A joiner from Ossy, Jack Hulme who i believe Jaysay would know played piano in the orchestra. The reason i am asking this is because the Franks brothers were connected to St Annes and i see that Franny sings and was in the same class with Jaysay at Holy Family.
