Kate Wills Posted 26 November , 2008 Share Posted 26 November , 2008 Crockford's Clerical Directory 1932 - Doug Doug, Could I beg a lookup from your Crockford please? The man in question is Rev. H Haywood CF, whose photo can be seen on the Black Cats thread http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...=111459&hl= Thanks Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procat Posted 27 November , 2008 Share Posted 27 November , 2008 Hi Kate, Unfortunately the only H Hawood in the 1932 directory is the chap in the attached. I don't think it will be him as he left Wells College in 1924. The 1908 has no joy either. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purley Posted 28 November , 2008 Share Posted 28 November , 2008 Hi, I have made a tentative link between Capt Herbert Sparling MC 7th West Riding Regt and Rev Herbert Sparling MC who is listed in the 1953 phone book for Gloucestershire based on the fact that I have not been able to find another Herbert Sparling in the London Gazette who received the MC during the Great War. There is also another Rev H Sparling in Bradford in the early 1970s. I wonder if any Pal with access to a copy from the 1950s might look him up for me to see if a link can be found. I have never used the directory, so cant say what information is given but hopefully something migh crop up. Does the directory include retired clergy or is it limited to working clerics? Any info at all would be great. Thanks much Nigel Nigel here is the entry for1965-66 SPARLING Herbert. Univ of Leeds BA 1919, MC 1917, Wells Theological College 1920, made deacon 1921, made priest 1922 dioces of Southwark, curate of Holy Trinity Roehampton 1921-24; St Barnabus Dulwich 1924-27, vicar of Buckminster with Sewatern 1927-30, dent 1930-47, Cowgill 1932-47, Address Bancroft Manor, Sherrington Bucks tel Newport Pagnell 83, Author At the Back of All things 1928 It seems pretty clear to me that he had been an officer in WW1 and won MC in 1917 regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Marshall Posted 26 August , 2009 Author Share Posted 26 August , 2009 There is a photo (not very good, his wedding I think with his wife) in one of the Leeds papers... Hello Ron, I hope you might still pick this up after so long.... Do you happen to remember the date approximately of the wedding? I have found marriage entries in the registers for three which seem eminently possible, one in 1917 in Halifax to Elsie Gledhill, one in 1922 to a lady named Beatrice W Chang in Leeds and the third in 1940 to Winnifred E M Leigh in the district of Tadcaster, which is the correct reporting district for events which took place in Scholes (and Barwick in Elmet, the parish Scholes is in)).

mattgibbs Posted 14 October , 2009 Share Posted 14 October , 2009 Herbert Sparling's address is listed as Launde Abbey, Leicestershire in 1948 Crockford's. This is the 2nd cleric today on here who's lived and worked in the area where I work, I go past Dent and Cowgill several times a year! I'm sure I have seen where he lived! Also, of possible interest is that there is no income listed for him in 1948 so assume he was not holding a living at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveE Posted 17 November , 2009 Share Posted 17 November , 2009 Rev. W h C Smith, who I know was a chaplain to the forces, and based in Dieppe towards the end of the war. Kate How sure are you of the initials? There was a Chaplain to the Forces called William Henry George Smith, he has a MIC online. This is his 1908 Crockford's entry, can't see him in the 1932 edition.... Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 17 November , 2009 Share Posted 17 November , 2009 Those are the initials printed in a newspaper which mentions him in passing, so I cannot be sure, though the chap you have indentified above looks to be a strong contender. Mistaking a G for a C is easy enough. Many thanks Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
