Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: 1891 Yorkshire Cricket Team ID needed.

Hi Meegan
I came across your message when researching my own ancestor Joseph Thomas Mounsey who played in the same Yorkshire team as David Hunter.
I found a number of photos including those attached of David and a team picture from 1896 which includes both David and Joe.
The team picture was taken on the occasion of Yorkshire setting a record score of 887 all out in the county championship against Warwickshire at Edgbaston. David batted at 11 and got 5 not out; Joe unfortunately was 12th man!
I was interested to learn a little bit about David who was obviously a much respected wicket keeper. My son Tom Mounsey is a wicket keeper and is in Derbyshire's young academy. He also is involved in the Midlands U15s and trains with them at Edgbaston.
Kind regards
Simon Mounsey
