MeanGenie,
What a wonderful piece of family research that is!  Just like Happy Families, I agree, Gaie. (Every time I'm searching around the house for odd socks to make up a pair, I'm reminded of another card game we used to play in my youth, Pelmanism, where you had to make pairs from face down cards - does anyone else remember it?)
Back on topic, is this orange almost sucked dry now, or is there further mileage to be had...?

918 footballers
but only 36 athletes, including 30 year old Maud Bulpitt of Hampshire
14 sportsmen
24 swimmers, including 53 year old Hobson Bocock of Grimsby
13 tennis players (not much of a tournament then!!) including 68 year old George Lambert of Islington

Dorothy Smith aged 18 from Aylesbury was "succesful"..I wonder what at

[JenB]

is there further mileage to be had...?

I think you have your answer 

17 Saviours,
2 Heathen
3 Oracles (all of them women  )
3 Grecians (Mr & Mrs Herbert of Wandsworth and 11 year old Frank Oates of Salford)

[oldtimer]

... but only Francis Henry Kingdon of Southwark was calm

Mean Genie......What a fabulous variation on the subject... 


And Oldtimer.... one of those 918 footballers was my grandmother's 1st cousin (once removed).... Arthur Locket who played for Watford at the time (but once played for England in 1903!)
