Hi
I am researching the life of a William Bobart Hawkins, who was at Lincoln College Oxford,1977-84. According to the Cricket Archive, he played for Oxford Uni Freshmen (1878), MCC 1880-1, Bryn-y-Neuadd 1884-1889, and Gentlemen of Kent 1889.
Does anyone know if any team photos exist for any of those teams, in the relevant years, that might picture him?
Also I can't find out much about Bryn-y-Neuadd except they were in the Llanfairfechan area.
Interestingly, years later, after he had retired, in 1933 he filed a patent (no 424900-A on the patent website) for a cricketing version of the bagatelle 'fire a marble' game. I wonder if anyone ever put it into production!
Thanks for any help you can give.
Best wishes
Tony
