Steve Conway's real name was Walter James Groom (Letters, September 27). He worked at Billingsgate fish market and for a brewery.

As a child, he suffered rheumatic fever, which led to heart problems in later life, as it so often does. He collapsed in 1951 and died in Guy's Hospital, despite heart surgery, on April 19, 1952.

Also, I would like to contact H Fielding of Theobald House. I have tried but he or she is ex-directory.
