Jack Ikin/Lancs Cricket

Post by n_ero » Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:10 pm

I notice that there are quite a few threads on here about cricket, and specifically Lancashire so I wondered if anyone on here knows a bit about Jack Ikin's family history? I ask as, many moons ago, whilst reading a copy of The Cricketer (which was printed by the company my dad worked for) my grandad just blurted out 'oh look, it's my cousin Jack' and went on to state that they were first cousins. What has puzzled me since is how my grandad is from west London and Jack Ikin was born in Staffordshire. So, long question short, was my grandad talking rollocks (he had the same last name) or somewhere along the line did the Ikins up sticks from London to Staffs or vice versa?

Any info greatly appreciated as my family seems to have little idea about any family members past my grandad.
