- Edmund Beaver's full name was Edmund Francis Beaver. He was born in Cobar, NSW and died on 21 July 1993.
- George Bishop died on 1 May 1972.
- Some minor corrections for Syd Christensen: His full name was Sydney Henry Albert Christensen and he was born in Glebe, NSW. Also, he was the uncle of Ted Brennan.
- Stephen Cooper was born 21 January 1913 in West Wyalong, NSW, and died on 29 June 1961. His full name was Stephen William Cooper.
- George Frankland was born 19 June 1906 in Balmain, NSW, and died on 17 October 1988. His full name was George Broughton Frankland, and his nickname was Pudden.
- Sid Goodwin was born in Balmain, NSW. He died on 24 March 1980.
- Frank Griffiths was born in Geelong, Vic.
- Francis Horth should be Frank Horth. His full name was Frank Edmund Horth. He was born 4 March 1910 in East Hills, Sydney, NSW, and died on 2 July 1975. [NB: Nearest location currently on the site for birthplace is Canterbury, NSW, where his birth was registered].
- Ern Latta's full name was Ernest Frederick Latta. He was born 13 July 1912 in Balmain, NSW, and died on 26 August 1979.
- Michael Pace's full name was Michael Henry Pace. He was born in Senglea, Malta, and died on 26 October 1960.

- Gordon Sykes was born 7 September 1912 in Haberfield, Sydney, NSW, and died on 28 July 1995. His full name was Gordon Harold Sykes. [NB: Somehow there are no Haberfield births already on the site. In the meantime, his birth was registered in Ashfield, NSW.]
- Bill Williams was born 9 May 1909 in Balmain, NSW, and died on 16 July 1988. His full name was William Joseph Williams.
- Herbert Woodbry was born 5 March 1908 in Tenterfield, NSW, and died on 3 October 1987. His full name was Herbert Edward Woodbry, and his nickname was Bert.
- H Wright is listed as such in teamlists but he is referred to by his nickname Mick in articles (see here (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-659798672), and other mentions here (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article231285241) and here (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-652546172)). He was born 20 November 1911 in Petersham, NSW, and died on 2 October 1983. Mick's full name was Harold Alfred Wright.
And just a comment on Bill Williams, I think the 1937 NSW Firsts appearance vs Clarence River (https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/matches/38447) should be Bert Williams, who was playing for Bombala at that time (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article139299527). B. Williams of Bombala was selected as a reserve for the preceding match against Queensland (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article193606771), and The Sun reported that B. Williams played in the second-row against Clarence River (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article229409867). The confusion here probably also coming from the fact that Bill was typically a second-rower and Bert a centre.
All updated, you are correct with Bert Williams he was in the NSW team that went to Qld not Bill Williams so I have fixed that as well.
I had this as Mick as well due to the last attachment you listed.
- Jim Duckworth's full name should be James Joseph Duckworth.
- Sid Goodwin's date of death should be 24 March 1980 (I think he was accidentally given George Frankland's death date of 17 October 1988).
- Mal Fallon, born 13 January 1910 in Sydney NSW. Full name was Malachy John Fallon.
- J O'Dowd was Joseph O'Dowd, born 4 July 1909 in Woollahra NSW, died 20 May 1988. Full name was Joseph Charles O'Dowd.
- Charlie Richards, born 31 August 1911 in Balmain NSW, died 23 August 1967. Full name was Charles Cornelius Richards.
- Norm Robinson's DOB should be 29 January 1901.
- Len Rue, born 11 April 1910 in Canbelego, near Cobar NSW, died 25 May 1967. Full name was Leonard James Rue.

- The J Stapleton who played for Western Divison in 1920 would therefore be a different person.
- Arthur Toby was born in Sydney NSW. His middle name was Edward.
- Les Trusler was born in Casino NSW. Full name was Leslie Ernest Trusler.
- Gerald Fitzpatrick (Balmain, North Coast, North Sydney), born 14 June 1902 in Balmain NSW, died on 7 August 1983. Full name was Gerald Richard Fitzpatrick, and brother of Dudley Fitzpatrick. The 1974 game for Brisbane should be the other Gerald Fitzpatrick, the one who actually was born in 1950.
- Eddie Lockhart, born 28 June 1915 in Orange NSW, died 28 October 1995. Full name was Edward Lockhart.

All updated.
- I think Joe Acheson should be Jim Acheson. There's a mention in Rugby League News that J Acheson's birthday is 16 June (year not stated) (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-645272283).
- There is a Joseph Acheson who was born in Leichhardt, but he was 16 years old for most of the 1937 season (his birthday was 19 August, so doesn't match). Therefore, I think this player's details are: born 16 June 1915 in Balmain NSW, died on 27 October 1977. Full name James Henry Acheson.
- Dave Colless should be spelled Colliss. Born 7 July 1911 in Wagga Wagga NSW, died 26 June 2004. Full name David Edward Colliss.

- Also: Frank Horth was married to Marjorie Frankland, sister of George Frankland, in 1935. They divorced in 1942.
- During those years, Frank Horth was a brother-in-law of both George Frankland and Frank Johnston (I guess this is worth noting despite the divorce?)
- Jim Murden, born 22 November 1912 in Drummoyne NSW, died 1 November 1961. His full name was James Edward Murden. He was also known as Mendelssohn Myhill Murden, which explains why his appearances for Balmain were reported as M. Murden or M. M. Murden. His birth record is under one name, but he was baptised under the other!
- Roy Palmer, born 23 August 1911 in Glebe NSW, died 14 November 2002. Full name Roy James Edward Palmer.
- Greg Toner, born 16 July 1911 in Waterloo NSW, died 14 January 1992. Full name Gregory Francis Toner.
- William Bischoff's DOB should be 26 September 1912, instead of October. His birthplace should be Maitland NSW. His full name was William James Bischoff.

Born 19 July 1909 in Wigan, England, died 16 March 1972. Full name was actually Henry Matthews, not Harold as Alan Whiticker's bio states.
- F Matthews was Frank Matthews (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-636200152). Born 23 July 1907 in Wigan, England, died 27 October 1976. He was the brother of Harry Matthews.

- Born 31 May 1899 in Drummoyne NSW, died 3 November 1971. Full name Harold Roy Matthews.
Thanks again Max I have updated all of these and added a profile for Harold Matthews.
- Jack Chin, born 21 October 1905 in St Peters NSW, died 19 April 1970. Full name John Crooks Chin.

- Frank Schultz should be Fred Schultz (1 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-645508174), 2 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article231450806), 3 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-629231615)). Born 5 October 1914 in Balmain NSW, died 19 July 1976. Full name Frederick Richard Schultz. Nephew of Balmain's Bill Schultz.

Max,
I have details on Edward Fulham from another contributor that his DOB is 1/4/1907 not 12/1/1907 as per Ancestry.com
Fulham.png
Hi Greg,
I've attached a screenshot showing the details for Edward Henry Fulham appearing in several family trees on Ancestry.com. Some people are listing 12/01/1907, while others have 01/04/1907.
Ancestry.com has a great collection of records, but I'm always cautious about the research published by users. Incorrect information seems to have a way of being copied around the website as I think most people are not actually analysing or verifying anything when they create their family tree. In this case, I can't even find an explanation for where 01/04/1907 has come from (sometimes it's actually the baptism date, or perhaps the DOB is for someone else with a similar name). I always double check everything I'm submitting against the actual NSW birth register website, which is where I found the correct date to be 12/01/1907.
Happy to go into more detail if that would help!
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.

- Greg Stokes, full name Thomas Gregory Stokes
- Abe Hall, born in Young NSW
- Stan Ponchard, born in Balmain NSW

- I think the Dubbo 1936 player was probably (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article131303268) Eric Bennett (NSW, Wests) instead of Edward Bennett (Balmain 1943)
- Joe Regent's DOB has come from Wikipedia, so it's not reliable (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joe_Regent&diff=prev&oldid=883624907). As far as I can tell, his birth was possibly unregistered (but I'll keep looking to confirm).
- Fred Woolley's DOB should be 5 March 1880 (instead of 7 May 1879 - not sure where this completely different date has come from). His death date should be 17 January 1955 (instead of the 18th). I've discussed this one with Tony and will be updated in his spreadsheets.
All updated but I have left Joe Regent's DOB as is until you can confirm one way or another. Thanks
I think we can scrap Joe Regent's DOB entirely as it has come from the Wikipedia editor who hasn't been correct about any of them
- Jack Clare, born 17 June 1924 in Goulburn NSW, died 17 July 1993. Full name John Joseph Clare
- H Slater was Harry Slater (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-646441953). Born 1907 in Strood, Kent, England, died 17 December 1984. Full name Henry William Slater
- J Randall was Joe Randall. Born 9 August 1901 in Ryde NSW, died 18 April 1985. His full name was Joseph Colin Randall, but he was also known as Joseph Matthew Randall
- Johnny Bliss' death date should be 9 August 1974 (instead of 4th)
Thanks Max I have removed Joe Regent's DOB and updated all the others.
- Pat Barry, born 2 March 1911 in Sydney NSW, died 17 October 1985. Full name Patrick Sydney Barry
- Jack Patterson, born 5 November 1912 in Balmain NSW, died 6 July 1994. Full name John Ralph Patterson
Both updated.
The name "Dan Little" appears in a few newspapers (1 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article194296113), 2 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article189054516), 3 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-652414772)), but he should be Bert Little (4 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article239995069), 5 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article239998023), 6 (http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article230955558)). I'm not sure if "Dan" was an error or a nickname. He was D. Little in team lists, but this might be in reference to his actual first name, David.
The Dan Little currently listed on the site doesn't appear to have left Casino, whereas Bert Little is living in the Balmain district and the reference [6] to him being married in 1941 lines up.
So Bert Little should be:
- Full name: David Herbert Roland Little
- DOB: 29 Dec 1911
- Birthplace: Balmain NSW
- Died: 18 Nov 1952
I had suspected Dan Little from Casino wasn't right, but full credit to Tony for this one. He solved it few months ago. He said he was going to email it around, but I think it's slipped his mind.
Done. Thanks Max.
