[Max Turner]

- Fred Blann was born 28 February 1914 in Surry Hills, NSW, and died on 9 August 1997. His full name was Frederick Alexander Blann. His wife Thelma Kadwell was the cousin of Kangaroo Harry Kadwell.
- John Coyne Sr was born in Wickham, NSW. His full name was John James Coyne, and he was known as Jack.
- Frank Curran's DOB should be 6 March 1908 in Ballina, NSW, as per his birth record. Other records say the 7th or the 8th. The birth details on the site are for an unrelated person of the same name, and I suspect has come from Wikipedia.
- Arthur Dean was born 30 September 1912 in Redfern, NSW, and died on 11 June 1998. His full name was Arthur Frederick Dean.
- Harry Eyers' DOB should be 16 August 1908 (instead of the 13th).

- Harleigh Hanrahan was born in Robertson, NSW. His full name was John Harleigh Hanrahan.
- Eddie Hinson was born in Redfern, NSW.

- Bernie Martin was born 4 October 1909 in Wellington, New Zealand, and died on 13 April 1991. His full name was John Bernard Martin Jnr. I think the incorrect birthdate on the site might have come from Wikipedia.
- George Shankland was born in Paddington, NSW. His death date should be 12 July 1988 (no idea where the other date came from). His full name was George Wallace Shankland, and he was the brother of Bill Shankland.
- Jimmy Stiff was born 7 June 1911 in Waterloo, NSW, and died on 21 December 1937. His full name was James Claude Stiff.
- Jim Tait was born in 1904 in Redfern, NSW, and died on 24 April 1972. His full name was Victor James Tait.
- Harry Thompson's full name was not Harold but rather Harry Gladstone Thompson. He was born in Moama, NSW.
- Alby Thorne should be Alby Thorn (although Thorne is a common spelling variation). He was born 10 April 1915 in Botany, near Mascot, NSW, and died on 12 October 1994. His full name was Albert George Bosley Thorn.
- Michael Williams was born 12 February 1910 in Port Macquarie, NSW, and died on 4 October 1984. His full name was Michael Albert Williams Jnr.
- Percy Williams was actually born 10 March 1910 in Sydney, NSW. The details currently on the site are for an unrelated Percy E(rnest) Williams. SSR Almanac lists 10 March 1910 as Percy's DOB.

Some more Souths players:
- Fred Blann was born in Surry Hills, NSW.
- Jim Deeley: surname seems to be Deeley in newspaper articles, but Deely in records. Born 28 July 1910 in Sydney, NSW, died 27 March 1986. His full name on his birth and death records is James Francis Deely, whereas his electoral rolls and military record lists James William Deely. SSR Almanac has his full name as James Francis William Deely.
- Charlie Fennell, born 12 January 1904 in Waterloo, NSW, died 22 July 1970. His full name was Charles William James Fennell.
- Harry Finch's full name was Harry Alfred Finch.
- Sid Harris' date of death should be 30 September 1965, instead of the 29th.
- John Kollias, born 17 May 1912 in Marrickville, NSW, died 16 September 1954. Full name was John Edwin Kollias, and was known as Jack. He died of an accident while serving with the Army in Kure, Japan.

- Albert Spillane should be Arthur. Born 20 December 1902 in Newtown, NSW, died 29 June 1983. Full name was Arthur William Spillane, and his nickname was Buller.
- George Treweek was born in Adelong, NSW. His death date should be 29 October 1991 instead of the 28th. Full name was Albert George Treweek.
- Just a comment on the spelling of his surname: It seems the family name was originally Treweek, which is the spelling on George's birth record. His electoral registration was originally Treweek, but later became Treweeke. Treweeke is used on his death record. Without knowing George's opinion, I wouldn't necessarily call Treweeke an incorrect spelling, just a variation.

- Benny Wearing's year of birth should be 1900. He was born in Redfern NSW. I can't find any evidence that Benny had a middle name. SSR Almanac lists Francis for unknown reasons. I can't find any basis for this; his birth, marriage, and death records, as well as electoral registrations, are simply 'Benjamin Wearing'.

[GregRLP]

All updated, I have asked SSR Almanac if they can find the origin of Benny Wearing's middle name of Francis.

[GregRLP]

Mark at SSR Almanac has advised Benny Wearing's middle name comes from Ancestry.com.
