E. V. Peach (I don't know his Christian names) played cricket for Broadbottom in 1938 then changed to Stalybridge Cricket Club in 1939. Can anybody shed any light on where he lived at the time, please? Any other family information would also be useful and welcome. Thank you.

These hold Stalybridge Cricket Club records 28 files 1900-1989 , they are likely to have other information to https://www.tameside.gov.uk/localstudies
1939, I suggest you look at the 1939 Register for an address

E. V. Peach (I don't know his Christian names)
If he was born in England or Wales - have you looked on freebmd for a birth or death registration for him to establish his christian names? Possibility in 1919
Any other family information would also be useful
If he was born from late 1911 onwards his mothers maiden name will be shown on the entry. You can then use freebmd to look for his parents marriage
As advised above - check the 1939 register for him which will give his full names and birthdate
What is your interest in him?
-
The one born in 1919 died in 1937.
Another possibility is Ernest Victor Peach, born Gorton in 1896, died in Manchester in 1970.

Gorton was in Lancashire then - his baptism is on Lancashire online parish records - if it is the same man
Baptism: 2 Dec 1896 St James, Gorton, Lancashire, England

Thank you for all of your replies. I have some ideas to go on now.
I am writing the history of Broadbottom Cricket Club and discovered this man playing for the club in 1937 and 1938. In 1939 he moved to Stalybridge C.C. He made a significant impact in his two years at our club and I would like to find out who he was. If I can locate any living descendants I might even get hold of a photo of him.
From the information you have given me, he can't be the man who died in 1937, so I will pursue the man born in 1896.
Thank you again.

Abraham and Sarah Ellen had 5 sons and one daughter
this might shock you but on www.192.com if you put in the search box
peach
gorton
you get 30 results of living Peach phone numbers and Electoral Role ....and a Sarah Peach aged 26 ...so - I wonder if she is named after Sarah Ellen all those years ago ??
take a look
good luck
:)

I might just do that, thanks. An alternative could be to write an old fashioned letter to the Evening News and see what that brings.
I have just been looking through a bunch of downloaded old cricket match reports. In an early one from 1937 I learned that our man used to play for Gorton. Coincidence....?

I WOULDN'T THINK SO Malcolm - born there - so Gorton would have to be one of his teams no matter what standard he achieved - most Sportsmen / women represent their home town at one stage or another ...David Platt Capt of England 1989 Born june 1966 and Mike Atherton Capt of England Cricket team 1989 born March 1968 were born 2 miles apart and 18 months in difference of age - both represented there local towns - Chadderton and Failsworth before becoming Professionals ...most do :) :)

I was in the local archives office yesterday, having a good look through the Peach family using Ancestry.com. I found a lot of information, including a number of relations who were born in the 1950s and 1960s. These are the people who might be able to help me and so I'll make it my business to contact one or more of them to see what they can tell me.
One thing, though: Ernest Victor Peach doesn't appear on the 1939 census (Find My Past, library edition). I wonder if he joined the forces at the age of 42/43.
Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.

Hi, Ernest Peach was my Grandma’s uncle and she used to watch him play cricket. :)
-
Hi Oli19,
Thanks for your reply. It is exactly somebody like you that I hoped to contact. Is it possible that you might have a photo of EVP that I would be able to use in my book on the history of Broadbottom Cricket Club, please? I realise this is a long shot but, if you don't ask....
Is your grandma still with us and, if so, do you think I might be able to speak to her?
All the best,
Malcolm

Hi Malcolm
My mum was a peach before she married.( oli19 ) is my daughter.
She spoke many times about going with her dad to watch her uncle play cricket. Sadly she passed away a few weeks ago. But if she was here she would be quite happy to regale you with some cricket tales.
-
Hi Duke,
Thank you for your reply. What a shame that she isn't with us any longer, but you must have a fund of memories to lean on. EVP must have been some player. He was only at Broadbottom CC for two seasons but took 130 odd wickets during that time before going on to Stalybridge. I believe he was the best spin bowler we ever had. In my book I'd like to to select an all-time best team from our players, which is why I was hoping I might be able to get hold of a photo of him. Do you think this could be a possibility?

Hi Malcolm
Sadly mum never had any photos to show us of her family. All mums uncles and her dad and grandad worked on the railway and her grandad and uncle played for the railway cricket team. Her dad wasn’t any good at cricket ( her words ) so he used to do the books and when there was a game mum used to help him on the scoreboard.
If you contact the railway archives they might have some cricket team photos.
-
Hi Duke,
It's a pity about the photos but you have given me some good leads about looking elsewhere. If I find anything I'll let you know. I don't hold out a great deal of hope, but you never know.
Thank you again,
Malcolm

Hi Malcolm, I’m glad my mum has given you a possible lead with the railway team. I’m sure there must be a team photo. It sounds like he was a great bowler! Mum is right, Gran would have absolutely loved to tell you all that she knew about her Uncle Ernest. I hope the info will be of some use. Fingers crossed :) :)
