Hugh Carey lived in Cambridge as a child and knew Mansfield Forbes (1889-1936, Clare 1909) as "Uncle Manny". His father, Gordon V Carey (Caius 1908), was a close friend of Forbes. As part of his research for the biography of Forbes, Hugh Carey collected material from friends and colleagues of Forbes during the late 1970s and early 1980s but died in 1984 after passing proofs of his book for press.
