I would guess that Mr Rawlins is Don or Donald. The Kent County
League had, at one time, a "Don Rawlins Shield" for their
Referee of the Year. Of course, that could be a coincidence :-

M Walmsley -FL yearbooks give address as 199 Long Lane, Dalton,
Huddersfield.
The phone book for 1958 shows a Morris Walmsley at that address.
Sounds like your man.

As Mr Fisher lives in a small village, review of the 1939
Household Register on Ancestry or FindMyPast might be worth a
look. Was he living in Earl Shilton fifteen years earlier ?
I'll check it out at the weekend unless anyone else does it in
the meantime.

There is a young married couple in Earl Shilton in 1901 but they
have moved to Rugby by 1911
Another large Fisher family are there by 1911 but they all move
in to Hinckley itself
And none of them are J's although Albert Josiah might have
dropped the A
However he was born in 1901 so would have been too old in 1954
I cannot see any Fisher's there in 1939

The 1956 phone book shows a J Fisher (no first name sadly) as
the owner of the General Stores at 2 Sandringham Avenue in Earl
Shilton.
The FL yearbook for 52/3 shows Mr F on the linesmen's list and
his address as Doctors' Field, Earl Shilton, but I can't find
him there in the phonebook for that year.
Unfortunately Ancestry doesn't seem to have Leicestershire
voters lists for the right period, because these would show a
Christian name which could be linked to the address. They would
be in the local record office but I presume that it's been
locked down (again) for the moment.
A search on the Newspaper Archive hasn't produced anything
useful. Perhaps someone with local knowledge or even a street
directory could help?
Meanwhile turning to W Thomas of Luton, he seems to have been
promoted to the FL line after 52/3 because he's not in the
yearbook for that season, although maddeningly I do remember
seeing him a couple of times doing friendlies at Bedford Town
and I'm sure he was on the FL line in the mid 50s. The Luton
voters lists are on Ancestry for the right period so if somebody
with access to a FL yearbook for the mid 50s could let us know
the address I might be able to track his first name down. (I
thought I'd found him via the phone book but the voters list
revealed that the W Thomas shown there was called Winifred!)

Thanks John. At No 142 Selbourne Rd in 1956 (the nearest I can
get) were William and Gladys M Thomas.
