Talk:Bill Johnson (rugby league)

Birth?

Though not usable in Wikipedia, as it's original research WP:OR, accordingto FreeBMD, the births of seventeen people named William H. Johnson were registered in Wales between 1898 and 1923, i.e. coinciding with a playing career of circa-1938, are any of these William Johnson? Best Regards.

Though not usable in Wikipedia, as it's original research WP:OR, accordingto FreeBMD, the births of two people named William H. Johnson, and one person named William Johnson were registered in South Wales (the most likely area of Wales from which a rugby player would originate) between 1913 and 1917 for a birth of circa-1915, i.e. William H. Johnson, mother's maiden surname Crandon, (birth registered during April→June 1914 in Llandilofawr district), William H. Johnson, mother's maiden surname Francis, (birth registered during January→March 1916 in Newport district), so could have been born late 1915, and therefore the most likely candidate, and William Johnson, mother's maiden surname Griffiths, (birth registered during January→March 1913 in Merthyr Tydfil district), are any of these William Harold "Bill" Johnson?

Wales, and then England

Would anyone know if Huddersfield's Bill H. Johnson who played wing for Wales against England in 1938, and the W. Johnson who played scrum-half for England against Wales in 1941, are the same person? Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 13:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
