Profile |
|
Full name |
Thomas Brindle |
|
Notes |
After extensive research looking into a birthdate of the elusive Brindle,
we have found a date on the 'assumption' that Doug Lamming is correct with
Brindle being born in Darwen in 1861. The Brindle we have found is
the only one that matches that description. Therefore, the following
information is based on such findings, and still requires confirmation
from a contemporary source. There is no conclusive evidence
regarding his death date. |
|
Born |
8 January 1861
at 46 Lyon Street, Blackburn, Lancashire [registered as Thomas Brindale, in Blackburn, March 1861]. |
|
Baptised |
24 February
1861 St Peter's Church, Blackburn, Lancashire, by C.Woodhouse. Child
of John and Alice, living at 46 Lyon Street. His father is a Glazier. |
|
Census Notes |
According to the 1861 census,
a three-month old Thomas lived with his parents, John and Alice (née
Holt), at 46 Lyon Street, Blackburn. His father is an iron grinder. |
|
According to the 1871 census,
the ten year-old Thomas, still with his parents, living at 12 Dorset Street
in Blackburn. His father is a cotton weaver. |
|
According to the 1881 census,
Thomas' parents were living at 2 Sidney Street in Lower Darwen. Thomas is
not found. |
|
Caution! |
The above named Thomas Brindle may have
died as a twelve year old, which explains why he may not be on the 1881
census. Until I find details of the twelve year old's death, then it will
remain as a theory.
If that is the case, then there is only one more
distinct possibilty, a Hindley-born Thomas, aged 27 at the time of his
England appearances. b.1853 d.1917. |
|
Died |
The death recorded in 1905 is a Thomas Brindle who
was born in 1849. 31 years of age in 1880, not an absolute
misdemeanor, but not the youngster we have come to know him as. |

Due to the fact that
many matches rarely stuck to exactly ninety minutes long, allowing time
for injuries, errors and substitutions. The minutes here
given can only ever be a guideline and cannot therefore be accurate, only
an approximation. |

It had long been believed
that Brindle had scored a goal in this match, but a Welsh newspaper
report of the time states a Hibbort own goal. |
