@Henry Irving would I be correct in thinking that the Arthur Cheesman living in Berkshire eliminated by your telephone conversation yesterday is the chap immediately above? (Mother's maiden name Swinyard etc).LenGlover said:
Arthur Cheesman would fit the profile too.Henry Irving said:
@AFKABartram Yes, we're just going on her lead but she knew him as a boy. It may be Albert or similar but she was sure it was Cheesman/Cheeseman and not Chiesman as in the shop in Lewisham. It's also backed up by the Craven FC photo on page 1.AFKABartram said:Interesting thread.
Two things:
Do you just have the lady’s word it was this person? Have you had that said by anyone else?
Are you sure on the spelling? I know a family of Cheesman’s local to the area, so seems there are a few Cheeseman / Cheesman / Chiesman variations
The guy we've been pointed to who was born and married in Greenwich is named Cheesman.
That's what makes it an interesting quest, we don't know.
If you know a Cheeseman family, please ask them if it's them.
Birth registered in Greenwich December quarter of 1935, mother's maiden name Swinyard. In the September quarter of 1958 there is a marriage registered in Greenwich of an Arthur Cheesman to a Beryl Eastwood or Eastman. (The same source shows both names.). In the December quarter of 1961 the birth of a Mandy Cheesman, mother's maiden name Eastwood, was registered in Woolwich and in the March quarter of 1968 the birth of a Nicola Cheesman was registered in Lewisham. There is no known offspring from the maiden name Eastman so I suspect Eastwood is actually the correct maiden name.

How did they find a kit to fit a young lad, surely there were no replica kits back then

Looking back again at the pic i'd say the boy is more like 14 and it's a small mans kit.DA9 said:How did they find a kit to fit a young lad, surely there were no replica kits back then

Never knew Donald Pleasence was our captain that day and the guy with the base must have run his socks off as his right legs gone awol.0 -

Right name, right age and some similarities even though the photos are 72 years apart.

Not sure if this is of any relevance, but the name and the date fit:

No reference to football, but it's the right sort of era.
If so, the boy went to the Philippines.
And ... on that basis ... he lives or lived in Cagayan de Oro City.

There is also an Arthur Cheeseman who gets a mention under 'Southwark' on Page 26 of the attached file.
