       Referees for Everton matches - Looking for first names
   DIR By: steveflanuk
       Date: April 12, 2022, 6:38 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Good afternoon all.
       I was wondering whether anyone would be able to provide the fist
       names of the following referees for matches involving Everton.
       I've managed to get quite a few from this forum and various
       other club history sites, etc. however, the following are still
       outstanding.
       The list gives the name of the referee, and then [in square
       brackets] the number of Everton matches they officiated, the
       date of their first EFC match and the date of their last EFC
       match (if they officiated in more than 1 game).  I've broken it
       down into more sizeable chunks (based on the date of their first
       EFC match). Any help is greatly appreciated, and many thanks in
       advance.

       John - thank you so much for all of these, very much
       appreciated.
       Yes, I was expecting some typo's - obviously from slightly dodgy
       newspaper scans/my eyesight!![emoji15]
       T. Hancock (08.01.1927 in FA Cup v Poole at Goodison Park).
       This was taken from the match programme:

       One more for the post-1900 list:
       Sgt Major Rowley [2: 03.02.1912 - 08.02.1912] - took charge of
       both FA Cup matches against Bury (1:1 draw at Goodison Park,
       followed by a 6:0 victory again at Goodison Park as Bury agreed
       to switch venues for the replay for a guaranteed income)

       John
       Once again you have been a star - thank you so much.  You've
       brought my list down to 11 names now (inc Sgt Major Rowley)
       With regards to H.J.Miller, yes the date is correct.  The name,
       obviously not from any match reports I'm aware of, would have
       been taken from either the programme (which I can't locate - so
       not that), or from newspaper fixtures, etc (I can't remember if
       it was a list of appointments from Athletic News), so thank you
       for the clarification.
       EW Child appears to be Edward William Child.
       After looking through birth registrations for someone aged
       between 30 and 40 at the time and who was living in the Manor
       Park area at the time of the 1911 Census, we find the following:
       Edward William Child (aged 40), born in Southampton (birth
       registered in Q4 1870)
       Living at 7 Wanstead Park Avenue, Manor Park, East Ham
       Occupation given as Elementary School Techer
       Married to Clara Child nee Watkins (marriage registration says
       they were married in Fulham in 1895 [registered in Q2 1895])
       If he is the right man, then my list is now down to 10, so once
       again John, a huge thank you.
