Shropshire Lookup Requests / Tom Owen Oswestry
« on: Friday 14 October 16 20:02 BST (UK)  »
Tom Owen lived in Oswestry between 1877 (maybe slightly earlier) and 1879 and played football for Oswestry. In 1879 he played for Wales against England at the Kennington Oval, now home of Surrey CCC.

His address in Oswestry was c/o Minshall & Co, a firm of solicitors.  The Minshall & Co papers for the period 1824 to the 1980s have been deposited at the Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury. I'm looking for someone kind enough to spend half and hour looking at the solicitor's papers for 1877 to 1879 and find out more about him and where he came from. At the moment he is a substantial hole in my forthcoming Who's Who of Welsh International Soccer Players. Many thanks.

Montgomeryshire / Richard "Dicky" Morris
« on: Tuesday 23 August 11 11:19 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find details of Richard Morris, I think,  born Newtown c1875 who played soccer for Wales between 1903 and 1908. His clubs were Newtown RWW; Druids Liverpool FC; Leeds C; Grimsby T; Plymouth A; Reading; Huddersfield T and Merthyr T.His football career apears to have ended around 1908/09. He served in the Boer War and was slightly wounded in 1901. It's not been possible to locate him with certainty in any census.  Any help, clues etc would be very much appreciated.

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Thomas Davies of Cefn
« on: Sunday 31 July 11 21:47 BST (UK)  »
Four brothers from Cefn Mawr (Crane Street?) played soccer for Wales - Joe, Lloyd, Bobby and Tom.  I'm in the process of updating for publication a who's who of Welsh players.  I have information on all four brothers but am trying to find when Tom Davies died. I know he was alive in 1922 when he attended Bobby's funeral. Grateful for any information. Thanks.
