Thanks very much for looking. There might be a connection there not direct.

My James John Lynes played for Warwickshire. Although there is allot of information on the web about his cricket games it would be nice to link him to someones tree.

I thought to find him in The Wisden Book of Cricket Obituaries 1892-1985 but he is not listed in there which seems strange.

You have James John heading your first post, he obviously was christened with two names, have you looked for his death under John Lynes, obviously that is the name he preferred?

A James Lynes was buried in Bristol aged 54 in March Quarter 1926 which would just about fit the bill, if you don't know where he died or lived it may be worth looking it up as there were not that many about with that name/

Michael

He was born in 1869 under Lines same district as his brother and sister. So you need to be looking for deaths that correspond with this year.

Have you got a death cert for Doreen Sweeney which may move you forward?

According to The History of Warwickshire Cricket Club he was born at Coleshill on 6-6-1872.
That differs from your version Steve but fits exactly the death I found in Bristol!

Incidentally the cricket club records show death unknown.
