Birth?[edit]

Though not usable in Wikipedia, as it's original research WP:OR, accordingto FreeBMD, the births of seventeen people named William H. Johnson were registered in Wales between 1898 and 1923, i.e. coinciding with a playing career of circa-1938, are any of these William Johnson? Best Regards.

Though not usable in Wikipedia, as it's original research WP:OR, accordingto FreeBMD, the births of two people named William H. Johnson, and one person named William Johnson were registered in South Wales (the most likely area of Wales from which a rugby player would originate) between 1913 and 1917 for a birth of circa-1915, i.e. William H. Johnson, mother's maiden surname Crandon, (birth registered during April→June 1914 in Llandilofawr district), William H. Johnson, mother's maiden surname Francis, (birth registered during January→March 1916 in Newport district), so could have been born late 1915, and therefore the most likely candidate, and William Johnson, mother's maiden surname Griffiths, (birth registered during January→March 1913 in Merthyr Tydfil district), are any of these William Harold "Bill" Johnson?

Wales, and then England[edit]

Would anyone know if Huddersfield's Bill H. Johnson who played wing for Wales against England in 1938, and the W. Johnson who played scrum-half for England against Wales in 1941, are the same person? Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 13:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
