Do you reckon adsddddddddddfdsdsdddddddddddfsafdsafthis George Watson might be the same George Watson described in this article? It places him in Australia, around these dates, and having just retired from "The Advertiser" in 1908, so it's certainly possible fafsdfdsfsddfds- but on the other hand, it's not an unusual name. A google search didn't shed much light. Thoughts? -- All the best, Nickj (t) 23:22, 28 September 2005 (UTC) sdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakljlaaaa Hmm, possible I suppose. However, I've noticed that in the early days, i.e., pre First jhthan paying for the two best umpires to travel there. fdSo, my guess is kjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkklkjlkkthat this man, George Watson, was from Adelaide, and theresfore not your man from Ashfield, Sydney. MulgaBill 20:02, 29 September 2005 (UTC) asfd Hmmmmmmm..... There is an Australian newspaper called "The Advfderdasfmka/smdkfjsdlkjfkasjdkcjfiasjdfnkjshf;kalnflsad;jfklasjfaslsja;kjfka;jfmkasljf;kslajdfks;djfksdfk;lsafklsjafsadlfkjsakljasioljf;eiouafdjs;aihfi;asfsha[ufjitiser", which is from Adelaide. I'm wondering whether I madfadde a fwithgggggggggggggggggggggggg the info I added to the Ashfield article, and it should not say that it was a "local" newspaper. From this page, I want to sdkjgggggsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssfadfpeak to the person who wrote the article about George Watson to clarify. Not sure when I'll get around to kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkit, but for the time being I think there's a fair chance it's the same person. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 00:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC) Spoke to a person fromasdfasfdsafdsafsdahfdsjfjsajf the local historical society (ADHS), and the upshot was that itsadfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa's probably a different person, but that the NSW cricket associatidasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssfaffffffffffffffon would probably know for sure. "The Advertiser" he worked for was a local Ashfield paper, and bears no relation of the Adelaide paper of the same name. He did however play some cricket as bowler around this time, but given that George and Watson are both reasonably common surnames, the feeling was that thijggggggggggggljls it was probably two different people. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 00:29, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
