To supplement my last message, going through past newspapers in ProQuest, it appears that Hardy Williamson was with the Century Opera Company in London. One paper indicated that he sang for King George and Queen Mary--he traveled to New York around 1915 to give concerts and make records. I guess I got him confused since he apparently made records in both London and in New York. -Ryan
