Title: Longhope Cricket Club - Photos?

Hello there!

I was wondering if anyone would have any old photos of Longhope Cricket Club, especially around the early 1900's?

It turns out, a few of my ancestors played in that team with the surname "Constance"....I descend from Charley S Constance, he was my great grandfather.  His family owned the Steam Mills in the village.

Thank you!

Sophie Williams, nee Constance

Hi Mike

Thank you for that!

I must invest in a copy of the book referred to!  What a lovely old photo too!  I bet some of my relatives are on it so I've contacted the site see if they can help -  fingers crossed.

Thanks again

Sophie

Hi Sophie,

If you have access to British newspapers there are a number of articles referring to Longhope Cricket Club with the name Constance appearing in these articles. Unfortunately no photos  ???
