Hi Maureen I had a look in the available newspapers but found nothing except reports of a murder by a tennis coach whose address was Lammas Park Road in 1936 (Linford DERRICK) Have you tried making contact with <http://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/200461/local_history_centre/944/contact_us_local_history_centre> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/06/2014 01:30, Maureen Short wrote: > I am new to the list so hope that this is relevant. > > Frank was my mother's younger brother and I understood from her that he > was good at tennis and played for Middlesex as a young man.

Thanks Nivard, I did send an email to the local history centre (Dr Jonathan Oates) but didn't receive a reply or an acknowledgement. This was almost a year ago. I will have to try again. The article you mention has been included in a book about Ealing. My thanks, Maureen. Milton Keynes.
