1935 Balmain players

[GregRLP]

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.

- 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.

- 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)
