Bushman has found some evidence which throws the accepted the formation of QPR into doubt. http://qprreport.proboards.com/thread/39002/revise-when-qpr-founded
That's when St Jude's were founded so it doesn't make any difference in the bigger picture. I think this discovery just makes City of Westminster council look silly...
Thanks Bushman - Those links make for some very interesting reading since my family inhabited those environs in that time period with many Paddington, Willesden, church & cemetery related references. I have an old notebook that documents important church & family events occurring in the period 1870 -1895, with mentions of Christ Church, St. Mary's Church and the Missions. Unfortunately no mention of football matches, but I ponder if my Great Grandfather, who died aged just 31 on Dec 31, 1890 was involved with any of those church mission football teams? web.comhem.se/norre/qprart/qpr_myhistory2.html www3.westminster.gov.uk/CSU/Cabinet...
