    Wiki: John O'CONNOR (English cricketer)
    John O'CONNOR (23 February 1867 — 13 July 1936) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire during the 1900 season.
    O'CONNOR was born in Pinxton, Derbyshire (registered as Oconer), the son of William O'CONNOR a coal miner from Ireland and his wife Mary. At the age of 14 he was a coal mine ganger. [1] .
    O'CONNOR's playing career began in 1893 with Cambridgeshire, his first match being against the MCC. He played regularly for Cambridgeshire until 1899 in the Minor Counties Championship and in other matches against MCC. O'CONNOR also umpired seven first-class cricket matches involving Cambridge University between 1894 and 1896. O'CONNOR's last game for Cambridgeshire in the 1899 season was against MCC when Arthur Conan DOYLE took seven Cambridgeshire wickets although not his.
    O'CONNOR made his debut first-class appearance for Derbyshire in May 1900 against Lancashire when he took 5 wickets in both innings at 5-56 and 5-69. Except in the next match he took a regular haul of wickets for the rest of the season, although he never came near his initial performance. His best batting score was 17 against Hampshire in a 177-run Derbyshire victory at the start of June. O'CONNOR was a right-arm off-break and medium-pace bowler and took 24 first class wickets at an average of 15.79 and a best performance of 5 for 56. He was a right-handed tail end batsman and played 14 innings in 9 first class matches with a top score of 17 and an average of 6.11. [2]
    O'CONNOR umpired two minor county matches in 1902 and one in 1903. He played another minor county season for Cambridgeshire in 1912 and started umpiring first class matches for Cambridge University again. Apart from a break in the war years he took one or to matches per season, usually against Free Foresters or the Army.
    O'CONNOR died in Cambridge at the age of 69.
    His son Jack O'CONNOR was born at Cambridge in 1897 and played cricket for England and Essex. His brother in law Herbert CARPENTER played for Essex

    Victory Medal
    Given the information we have available it is likely that E WHEATON was entitled to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.
    Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible. 
    British War Medal
    From the information available to us, it is very possible that E WHEATON was entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918.
    The medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before the completion of this period.

    Profile 
    Jack O'CONNOR who died in the Forest Hospital, Buckhurst Hill on February 22, aged 79, was a very good country cricketer who was for years on the edge of Test cricket. He played once against South Africa in 1929 and that winter took part in three matches for the M.C.C. in the West Indies, which Wisden then called Representative Matches, but which are now included in the Test records, though the English side could not possibly be described as more than England A. After a modest start for Essex in 1921, O'CONNOR gained a fairly regular place next year and scored his first hundred, but it was in August 1923 that he first attracted much attention; in four consecutive matches he played innings of 111 not out, 128, 93 and 99. He remained one of the mainstays of the side until 1939. In all first-class cricket he made 28,575 runs with an averages of 34.95, scored 72 centuries, including at least one against every other county and both Universities, reached his 1,000 on sixteen occasions and in 1926, taking 93 wickets as well, narrowly missed the double.
    He bowled slow leg-breaks and off-breaks mixed and had the advantage of looking a good deal simpler than he was. At any rate in his career he took 557 wickets. A small man, very quick on his feet, he was a good driver on both sides of the wicket and a fine hooker, but he was more liable to spells of failure than a top-class batsman should be and had moreover an unconcealed distaste for fast bowling, nor was he outstanding in the field. He was a great player of slow spin, but the popular theory that he was FREEMAN's master is hardly born out by figures. Certainly when set he made FREEMAN look very ordinary, but in his 52 innings against Kent between 1922 and 1936, though he made seven centuries, his average was only 31 and on fifteen occasions FREEMAN had him out under 30.
    After his retirement he was for many years coach at Eton and in 1946 and 1947 played for Buckinghamshire. Later he coached at Chigwell. He came of good cricket stock. His father had played with success for both Cambridgeshire and Derbyshire and bowled for many years in the nets at Fenner's. His uncle, Herbert CARPENTER was for years one of the mainstays of Essex batting and represented the Players, while his great uncle, Robert CARPENTER had been one of the leading batsmen in England in the 1860s.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching.
