Missing forenames for Welsh linesmen officiating in Inter-Cities
Fairs Cup matches

I wonder if anyone can help with the following?
Below is a list of Welsh officials who were linesmen in
Inter-Cities Fairs Cup matches. I am looking for the missing
forenames (in BOLD). Most of the information was obtained from
the match programmes. In some cases, there isn’t a lot to go on
especially where the town of residence wasn’t recorded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
Were these officials all on the Football League list of
linesmen?
