New Birth Date discovered edit

This footballer was also a cricketer for Shropshire who cross references in the book Shropshire Cricketers 1844-1998, published under Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians, is stated to have a birth date under the 1st Quarter of 1854 (ie January to March inclusive). This would make him 62 at his death and it also warrants amending the article heading to read "(born 1854)". I have already changed one of his categories to '1854 births'. I assume this will not clash with another footballer who has the same heading! This player is stated in the cricket guide to have been a 4 times Wales Football International so it is the same man.Cloptonson (talk) 13:32, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
