I have just come across an entry in the London Gazette concerning the death and will of JWTS - see: www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/33792/pages/528/page.pdf - this should enable you to source a copy of his will, which with luck just might list a bequest of his works, or other descendant contacts to pursue.

I regret that I know no more at this stage, however, I am transcribing my grandfather's lengthy diaries so if I come across anything more of interest I will let you know. I know there are references to Susanna's parents being nice people etc, but as our family connection was though the daughter, who died so soon after her marriage, I fear there will be little more.

I can add a small amount of info to this thread - just found during family research.

JWTS did marry a Marie Louise ?, and they had a daughter with the wonderful name of Susanna Frederique Antoinette Marie Louise Shakespeare - 'commonly' known as Mimie! She was a concert pianist of some quality, I believe. She married my great uncle, Arthur Cassels Brown in 1902 but sadly died in 1912 with no children. JWTS lived at Small Dean, Wendover, Bucks and also 14, Mansfield Street, London W., when he was listed on Mimie's marriage cert in 1902 as being 'Professor of Music'.

Not much help, I'm afraid.
