:-)  Thanks

I also communicated with the historian of Leyton Orient/Clapton Orient about 18 months ago and he confirmed that they signed a Jack Williams, so I'll go back to him and see if there's anything that they can give me that could clarify the Jack/James etc.  Perhaps there are some docs on next of kin or something that they hold.

Heywood,
Magic - we have "Jack Williams, centre forward, 1909-1910" which fits the 1909 transfer from Bury.
Also, not being mentioned in 1910/11 squad, fits the transfer of a Williams to South Shields.
