Thanks Max but my other source also claims he confirmed the birth date 1/4/1907 from ancestry.com with the NSW online birth register.

I've asked him to double check.

OK we are good now on Edward Fulham it seems Tony sometimes has a glitch with the NSW birth site so he is happy to go with 12/1/1907.

- Arthur Bowery's surname should be Bowrey. Born 16 May 1916 in Drummoyne NSW, died 17 October 1952. Full name Arthur George Bowrey
- Dave Parkinson, born in Cessnock NSW. Full name David Parkinson
- Keith Parkinson, born 6 February 1919 in Cessnock NSW, died 23 April 2000. Full name Keith Alwyn Parkinson. I think it's worth adding a note to correct Alan Whiticker's bio: Despite reporting at the time that Keith was the brother of his Cessnock and Balmain teammate Dave Parkinson, they were not actually related.
- Dudley Fitzpatrick, born 22 January 1909 in Rozelle NSW, died in 1995.
- Anthony McFadden, born 8 December 1905 in Balmain NSW, died 14 January 1959.
- H Robson's first name was Harry. Born 6 January 1909 in Balmain NSW, died 5 February 1983. Full name Arthur Henry Robson
- Arthur Tennant, born 15 April 1902 in Balmain NSW, died 24 April 1949. Full name James Arthur Richard Tennant
- Doug Vannon's surname should be Vannan. Born 10 June 1904 in Balmain NSW, died 3 February 1982. Full name Douglas James Vannan
- Alfred Wincote, born 12 September 1902 in Balmain NSW, died 21 May 1963. Full name Alfred James Wincote

- Lex Small's birthplace of Murrumburrah should now be in the database, so this can be moved out of the additional notes.
- And I'm hoping the same for Les Moore (Launceston) and Michael Pace (Senglea)
