Is a dead man in Deptford involved, merc?

(Incidentally, RESPECT for the quick dispatch of Cali's conundrum!)

Is a dead man in Deptford involved, merc?

certainly is

[subcontrabass]

Google does make some of these too easy:

Frances INGRAM sang Grimgerde with the Chicago Grand Opera Company (c. 1911-13)
INGRAM Frizer was one of the people involved in the brawl in which Christopher Marlowe died in Deptford in 1593
Luther INGRAM was born in Jackson TN in 1937

Glad I scrolled down after finding Ingram Frizer otherwise I would have been wasting time as Subcontrabas had already got there.

It looks like J is yours, subc

[subcontrabass]

Try this:

What J links an operatic source, a horn blower, and a nosey puppet?

[Anna]

I've looked at this, on and off, all day. The only nosey puppet that comes to mind is Pinocchio, which doesn't fit no matter which way I look at it. It does seem though there was a puppet in Thunderbirds called Nosey Parker!! The things you learn! There was a Horatio Hornblower .... Are all the clues musical?

The clues are all musical. Pinocchio is correct. I am surprised that no one has picked up the first clue which was inspired by a currently active thread in the Platform 3 Forum.

Pinocchio is correct.

The Disney version, I presume, as "J" isn't in the Italian alphabet. So Jiminy Cricket?

(Though there is a Judge in the original who gives the Puppet a very harsh sentence for having allowed himself to be robbed?)

The name correctly picks up the allusion. Nothing to do with the film (or the opera).

You called, Sir?

Raquel Jimenez?

No. The horn player required, who is now deceased, was a trumpeter and organist before taking up the horn.

Ifor Jiminy?

[subcontrabass]

Ifor Jiminy?

Now what about the other two?

[mercia]

I'm rather confused. I think I'll leave this to ferney & co.
