Charles guy Littlewood born 27.3.1895 Brighton Victoria aust. Died 6.12.1979 west ryde NSW. Married 17.2.1923 turramurra NSW.

Ken has daughter sienna and son Kenji b. March 2013

The Ryerson Index (Newspaper Death notices) lists Kenneth Guy Littlewood's death as27 Apr 1990 at West Ryde, a Sydney Suburb, age 66.
Toshiko Littlewood died 16 Oct 2000 also at West Ryde.

If you want to look at the references to the death notices go to www.ryersonindex.org, it tells you which paper the notice as published in. You can also ask some kind indexer to look up the full entry for you (Request a look up on the first page).

If you google search Ken Littlewood and Toshi you will find there is a MO Award (for live Australian entertainers not movies) named the "Ken Littlewood and Toshi Award for Speciality Performer" perhaps the organisation which runs the MO awards might be able to help you, too.

Hi Helen

Can't find anything on Chas but do have some info on his wife, maybe you have this already...

Her name was Emonie Jean GROAT. She was born 1896 in Randwick to George Alexander & Ellen Alexandra (reg 15788). She died in 1962 in Balmain NSW (reg 31231).

George & Ellen (nee SCRIVEN) married in Waverley NSW in 1887 (reg 3054). George was born 1865 in Orange NSW (reg 12756) and died 1943 in Liverpool NSW (reg 19805), son of Malcolm & Isabel[la].

Found a snippet about Kenneth online; this is an excerpt from an interview with magician Ken Russell, reminescing about fellow magicians:
Ken Littlewood, he was on the Tivoli circuit. "I went backstage...after one of his shows to meet him. He told me that he didn’t have any friends, went from city to city non stop, lived out of a suitcase and the only fun was smacking the showgirls on the bum….sometimes. He said it was a lonely existence..."

Good luck, hope this helps

Cheers
