Hello I am looking for any information about this man Francis Cornelius Chivers from info I have found online he is supposedly born in Drybrook, Gloucestershire on April 7th 1909 and died in a mining accident at the Barnborough Main Collery, Yorkshire.
He was a professional footballer who played for Barnsley, Huddersfield Town & Blackburn Rovers and played as a striker.
From the little I have been able to find his mother may have been a Lillian Brain but can find no evidence of this, what I am really interested in is his parentage I can not find him in the 1911 census or a birth record or even a marriage for his parents, As a lifelong football supporter the prospect of being related to a footballer is rather exciting, so any help that can be shared with me will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Beth
