In my new book "Cinemas of Haringey" I mention Harry Bidgood (1894-1957). Could this have been Thomas's son?

Harry was once one of the organists at the Coliseum Cinema, Harringay. He later became a musical arranger for several feature films, including "Bell-Bottom George" with George Formby and "We'll Meet Again" with Vera Lynn. Later, with the stage name of "Primo Scala" he led an accordion band and appeared at Wood Green Empire and on the wireless on "Music While You Work".
Yes, he was!

I've just looked at the Ancestry site and found a family tree for the Bidgood family (Harry's birth was registered in 1900 btw).
