I seem to mostly be finding databases but not much in depth detail. It seems his only known time playing cricket is playing in one first-class match and getting dismissed with a score of zero. Tartar Torte 18:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - intriguing name, intriguing spelling. There must be something that we can find about this individual from easily-obtained sources.

- There is some stuff about him on BNA. He was a schoolmaster and was charged with offences against 5 boys, though I am unsure of the nature of those charges as I still haven't got my BNA access back. He can definitely be expanded. StickyWicket aka AA ( talk) 22:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Someone must be able to access it... I can't help but think this means the nominator didn't do much work in order to find new information...

- Redirect to List of Essex County Cricket Club players While there appears to be some coverage in the BNA here, I'm not sure there will be enough for a GNG pass still. If someone can access and then expand the article then excellent, however redirecting in the meantime saves the page history until that time comes. Rugbyfan22 ( talk) 09:05, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect as above per the long established consensus that this is what we do if we can't find anything. A note can be added to the article summarising what we do know as well. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 11:17, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
