Thanks very much for looking. There might be a connection there not direct.

My James John Lynes played for Warwickshire. Although there is allot of information on the web about his cricket games it would be nice to link him to someones tree.

I thought to find him in The Wisden Book of Cricket Obituaries 1892-1985 but he is not listed in there which seems strange.

I wonder why he is not in the Cricket Obituaries book then that's strange.

That's him in the census his name is James i don't know were the John comes from strange.

Thanks for that Al in Vane that is very helpful.
