Biography of John Reid



HERITAGE NO :
CYCLE MAKER

John was a local lad who was born in St Helens in 1862. His father, Henry, was a glassmaker. In 1881 John was living with his parents at 150 Peasley Cross Lane and working as a glassmaker. He made his debut for the St. Helens Rangers against St. Helens Recs Reserves on the 20th of November 1880. John played in the forwards and ended up on the winning side that day. He is recorded as playing in 9 matches for St. Helens but because of the paucity of results and team sheets from that period, the number of appearances is likely to be higher. He was also likely to have played for the Second team as well. His last recorded match was against Newton le Willows on the 23rd of December 1882. The Saints failed to win in that away fixture.

On the 13th of May 1883 he married Martha Elizabeth Arnold and they went on to have 3 children. The young family lived at 17 Traverse Street, Parr, St Helens in 1891. In the 1911 Census John was recorded as working as a cycle maker.

He died in Leigh in October 1930 at the age of 68.
