Talk:Frederick Keen (cricketer)

Frederick Keen's father-in-law?
Not sure whether wiki or CricketArchive was the original source of the statement that Seth Ward was Frederick's father-in-law but my research suggests this in not true. I am not a wiki editor and have no account but would appreciate any suggestion as to how this relationship ever saw the light of day. Barry Phillips. I stand to be corrected but my reasons to believe there is no connection between the two cricketers are: ·     Frederick Keen’s wife was Margaret Oswald Keen, they are on the passenger list from Buenos Aires to Southampton arriving August 1936, he aged 38, she aged 20, and are believed to have been just married. ·     Frederick Keen crossed the US border from Mexico with his wife on 14 September 1941. The US record has his wife’s maiden name as Margaret Brown not Ward. ·     Margaret Oswald Brown was born in 1916, the daughter of an Argentinian rancher of Scottish descent, James Austin Brown, and her mother was Lilian Leavens Lumley. ·     At the time of Margaret’s conception and birth, Seth Ward was fighting in central Africa with the King’s African Rifles (and had been there since before the outbreak of war in 1914) ·     Seth Ward never married and has no known connection with South America. Prior to serving with the King’s African Rifles, he was with the Oxfordshire Light Infantry in India (late 1890s) and in South Africa (Boer War). 2A02:C7F:5CB1:DD00:6949:B031:108:5407 (talk) 15:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
