COUNTY TEAM LISTS
The information for the county teams in the early years is drawn from research done by our first archivist Bill Swan. The names have now been transcribed three times - Bill's note-taking from the original sources, his typing up of those notes and now from his sheets into electronic form. Inevitably some mistakes with initials, surnames and clubs may have occurred. Later teams are from my own records and have been subject to less 'handling' but may still not be 100% accurate.
COUNTY APPEARANCES
The same possibility of errors apply to the tables of team appearances. This is especially so for the early years as names were recorded simply as surnames or with forenames shown only as /initials/abbreviations. Sometimes only one initial was used whilst on other occasions an impressive set appear for the same person. I have also come across several typographical errors, capital C being written as G, H for N etc.
An explanation of the abbreviations used in these lists together with some notes on the layout currently appear at the start of the 1880-1889 table of appearances.
My apologies for any mistakes encountered. If any reader cares to correct errors please feel free to contact me.
