To Sally Hayles,
I am the daughter of Anne Stuart Wortley who was the daughter of Jack. I don’t know if I have any information which would be useful to you or not. We could have a phone conversation perhaps if you send me a phone number.

Yours Meg Beresford.

I am so sorry - I have only just picked this up - many apologies for the delay.

My interest in John is because I a involved in a small volunteer project in Brnsley South Yorkshire about artists connected with the town.

Archibald John SW of course was an artist so I have been tracing his connections and pictures where I can.

I have therefore come across John and his marriage to Edith (although I am having trouble tracing Edith’s background.)

What I am unsure about is Johns childrens relationship with Eleanor Archibald’s widow who I know died at Beaulieu and Eleanor’s relationship with Edith and her grand children.

After Johns death Edith seems to have been in Wales and married William Nicholson there?

I have seen that Edith marriedWilliam Nicholson and they had a daughter Liza who I assume is your relation?

i hope this makes sense and is not too intrusive.

with very kind regards

Slly Hayles

After Jack died, his widow (my grandmother) Edith Minnie (nee Phillips) married the artist William Nicholson. Jack had two children, John and Anne. I can put you in touch with John’s daughters and Anne’s daughter, if you tell me more.

can you help me? I am researching John’s father the artist Archibald J Stuart Wortley.I very much appreciate the information you have here.

is there anyone I could communicate with about his personal life? eg you mention he married - who? did he have any children?

His mother was the Gilbert and Sullivan actress Nelly Bromley.

I think I have also have a different date of birth for John so I would appreciate any information from the compilier of this information.

There is also a work by Archibald somewhere in a Staffordshire gallery I am tring to track dwon

with kind regards
