Does not appear to meet either WP:GNG nor WP:Author. The sources cited are two paywalled local newspaper articles from a century ago and a citation to the single book that he wrote. A Google search of the author and of his book turns up only mirrors of this Wikipedia article; Google Books turns up only passing mention in lists and nothing to indicate any notability; Google Scholar turns up nothing whatsoever.

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Journalism and England.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:28, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding the text and references added today: (1) myheritage com is not a reliable source - see numerous discussions of the comparable site, ancestry.com, at WP:RSN and (2) sources on his grandfather don't establish any notability for the subject of the article.

 * Delete per WP:GNG and WP:NOTNERITED. This stub seems to highlight his relatives rather than him. Bearian (talk) 20:46, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - does not meet WP:GNG. The only match I found in the Wikipedia Library was for a one-paragraph review of Nature and the Idealist in The Expository Times. Regards BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:37, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
