Stanley Kirkby and J. Thompson (is the same as Stanley Kirkby and B. Thompson) are also The Vernons on the Winner label. (Will) Thompson seems usually to have partnered Harry Cove (Hayes & Croft, The Elliotts, Fanning and Fortune, The Two Filberts..) whilst Kirkby's usual 'sidekick' in those days was Harry Hudson - Later Edison Bell's musical director.
