My name is Ruslan, Delaware,Ohio(USA). My post is about - George Swithenbank (aka "Muck George") of the Junction, near Delph, Saddleworth who was born in 1825. In the mid and late 1840's he became the most prominent champion heavyweight wrestler of Yorkshire and South Lancashire. He practiced - Catch-as-catch-can, wrestling style which was popular in Lancashire,Yorkshire and Cheshire. He wins big heavyweight wrestling championship tourney in Bury, Lancashire in 1846. Then in 1849 he traveled to London to compete at Camden Town, at famous Cornish Style Championship. Swithenbank was associated with other best catch-as-catch-can wrestlers of the 40's - Adam Ridings (aka "Dockum") of Bury and William Buckley (aka "Trout") of Oldham. Swithenbank was the GREATEST wrestler of Yorkshire and South Lancashire in the 1850's and he was still wrestling in the early 1860's,his last competitive result in my collection is dated 1862. At his prime Swthenbank was 5ft 10 1/2 (180cm) tall and his weight was around 170lb (12st). George was a blacksmith, he lived his whole life in Junction, Saddleworth, and never got married. According to Ancestry he died at the age of 59 in 1884.I am trying to find his obituary in local Saddleworth newspapers, but I am not sure which papers might have covered that. Also trying to find any additional material on him. I would highly appreciate any info related to that subject.Thanks.Kind regards, Ruslan
