Talk:John Ascroft

Errors in sources?
I cannot find a John H. Ascroft born in 1909 in England, let alone Bebington. However, a John Herbert Ascroft was born in Bebington on 2 February 1907, and died in 1990 in the Whitehaven area. (He shows up on freebmd and 1911 England census). If we can find a 1990 obituary for a John Herbert Ascroft, that may confirm his identity as a footballer for Wrexham. Meanwhile I cannot find a photograph of him - not even a Wrexham team photo from his era. It may be that Wrexham football club has a photo in its archives. I believe that we will not be able to expand this article further if we don't have the correct search parameters.

Update: I have found a Football Gazette review which confirms his full name as John Herbert Ascroft (see article). Storye book (talk) 20:28, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
