Apparently finished his football career at Preston North End, so probably in that area at time of 1911 census

Hello and welcome  :)

What kind of news are you looking for? Is it personal or for a project?
It helps if you explain more what you seek and what you already have.

If you are still interested, I think he is Henry Stringfellow born 1874 in Lathom, Lancashire to parents William and Mary Stringfellow.

Married Elizabeth Lyon at St John Burscough Bridge (Ormskirk) 17 Jul 1902.

Can be found on 1911 census living in Burscough with wife and several children, and working as a basket maker.
