Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. George Formby (4 October 1875 – 8 February 1921), born James Booth, was an English comedian and musician. He was a star in Edwardian music halls, singing and clowning in a sardonic style that influenced the young Charlie Chaplin. Formby was plagued by ill-health and suffered from tuberculosis, but despite this was one of the highest paid entertainers of his day. His son was the popular comedian and ukelele player who also used the stage name George Formby. George Formby was the stage name of James Booth, who was born in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire. His mother, Sarah Jane Booth, was a poor working-class woman who was eighteen years old and unmarried at the time of his birth. She married James's father, Francis Lawler, a few months after the birth.
