A result via google shows Jack had a son called David, also a foorballer

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:

JACK, DAVID BONE NIGHTINGALE NIGHTINGALE
GRO Reference: 1898 J Quarter in BOLTON Volume 08C Page 390

which would make this the marriage of David's parents -

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

Jack played for Bolton Wanderers amongst other teams

Sounds familiar to me too, but can’t find another thread.

Added: as you have his children’s details from his Wikipedia page you can now use the GRO ( if born in England/Wales) to find the surnames of the mothers.
You also should check for his marriage on Scotlands People.

For anyone trying to help….the correct surname is JACK…….as per Wikipedia!!!!!

This seems very familiar…………….

Using correct info, the death was in SOUTHEND

Look for a marriage using freebmd…it’s a very easy site to use

He didn’t die in Plymouth……or anywhere else in England/Wales

I recall, as a child, my father saying Robert (Bob) Jacks was an uncle to my mother. Bob Jacks was a footballer - Manager (one team he managed was Plymouth Argyle). I am aware he was born in Alloa 4 April 1896 & wikipaedia shows he died 6 May 1943. My family are from Plymouth -I am assuming he married in Plymouth. If he was my mums uncle, I have a feeling he may have married my grandmother’s sister? My grandmothers maiden name was Witheridge. Wikaepedia shows his two children but not his spouse’s name. Can anyone help please?
