Longhope Cricket Club - Photos?
« on: Wednesday 24 April 19 20:28 BST (UK) »

Hello there!

I was wondering if anyone would have any old photos of Longhope Cricket Club, especially around the early 1900's?

It turns out, a few of my ancestors played in that team with the surname "Constance"....I descend from Charley S Constance, he was my great grandfather.  His family owned the Steam Mills in the village.

Thank you!

Sophie Williams, nee Constance

Hi Mike

Thank you for that!

I must invest in a copy of the book referred to!  What a lovely old photo too!  I bet some of my relatives are on it so I've contacted the site see if they can help -  fingers crossed.

Thanks again

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

If you have access to British newspapers there are a number of articles referring to Longhope Cricket Club with the name Constance appearing in these articles. Unfortunately no photos  ???

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance
