John was a fantastic actor.
I did not know, although he was born in Chesterfield, he & his family later moved to Cleethorpes and John enrolled at Grimsby Art School aged 17.
I live in Brigg, about 20 miles from Grimsby.
RIP John.

A simple DNA comparison would have revealed any connection to the marquess.

The disappointment on his face when he finds out he has no Irish lineage.
