Does anyone know anything of Broxbun Cricket Club and, more particularly if there are any records of who played for them?

West Lothian Libraries appear to have 29 Titles referring to Broxburn Cricket Club, from 1903 onward, including Prize giving and Annual Reports.

Thanks Mosstrooper James for the useful link. :)

Just looked at your other posts, I have family from Ireland to the Broxburn, Winchburgh Oil Industry too, and
have Philbin in there too. My uncle Jock Philbin married my Aunt Mary Reynolds in Broxburn. I live in this area.

Hi Mosstrooper,
As far as I am aware, the Philbin connection is that Kevin and Terry Philbin are/were the great grandchildren of Kate Gallagher who lived in Millgate, Winchburgh; apparently Kate used to wear a surgical boot on her left foot. She was the sister of Ellen Gallagher; Ellen died during childbirth in 1921.
Kate became Kate McKenzie and had two daughters who became Mary McKenzie McPhillips and Cathy McKenzie Stevens. I do not know how Philbin entered the equation and can only presume that Mary or Cathy had daughters who married a Philbin.
I have never met any of these and only know of their existence thanks to a now deceased aunt who used to live in the Uphall/Broxburn/Winchburhg areas.
