I couldn't either. He is English. Lived in Southampton, but the house they lived in was bombed out during WWII. He died in the 50s. My grandmother is 86 and in ill health, but is trying to get the pictures together of his works.
We supposedly have many pictures of some of his works, but it would be great to see them first hand.
I am not even sure to be honest that the museum who holds the mirror frame he carved actually knows Holmyard did it. Because he did a lot of restorations, he probably was not as well known as artists doing original works.
There were some who were bitter my grandmother came here in '47, so they were less than helpful with that kind of family history and communication.

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?
