Have asked my mum, she might know

My Grandad worked with a bloke called Chiesman (sic) over the UGB bottle factory

...... generation wise, it could have been this fella's dad or uncle maybe?

Apart from the boy and his descendants I struggle to see why anyone else is interested.
But good promotion of the museum from scraps I suppose.

Henry Irving

The greatest achievement in our history and there is local boy in full kit on the pitch.

Why wouldn't a Charlton fan wonder who and why?

There is a story there and I'd like to know what it is.

Long shot: We had an Ernie Cheeseman playing for a junior team last year, mentioned in this thread https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/82599/live-football-on-tv

I met an old chap at the pre-season friendly at Eastbourne United who was in his eighties and I'm pretty sure his name was Arthur. He had connections with the club as a boy; I think he said his dad or uncle was the groundsman back then. Sorry I'm being so vague but I'll see what I can find out for you.

My uncle had a good mate, Jeff Cheeseman when he lived in Cherry Orchard, he'd be about 60 now

Just checked online and there's an Arthur Cheeseman listed as living near the Eastbourne United ground.
