Jockeys
« on: Tuesday 30 May 06 13:02 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find information about Jockeys. The Jockey Club have nothing before 1900.

I am also looking for information on the race course in Lyon, France as I am trying to find more information about William Lashmar who died there in June 1890.

William had been a jockey riding for Matthew Dawson & Champion Fred Archer in Newmarket but after Archers death seems to have moved to Paris.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The link that CU posted is broken.

I hope this one is acceptable in its place www.nhrm.co.uk

Many thanks but sadly the records don't seem to go back far enough - will keep trying!

Can you get access to Gales Digital Newspapers (English Collection 1600 - 1900)? I just did a very brief search there for "lashmar AND jockey", and got a few results, though his(?) death in Lyons in July 1890, as a result of a race fall, is reported as Thomas Lashmar.

PS: Lashmar competed for the Prix du Grand Camp, Lyons. The horse was "Naaman", which kicked him in the head, and he did not recover.
