Evidence that the DNB author is the historian?
Apart from the similarity in names, do we have evidence that the JWA DNB author is the same as the JWA historian? All the DNB articles are cricket-related, so do we have an external source of information for the assignation or are we possibly conflating based on name alone? It is not an uncommon name. — billinghurst  sDrewth  06:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Interesting. This one was a Professor at Bedford College for a time, and also a cycling friend of Author:Thomas Seccombe, who was DNB staff. The three articles date from about 1895. In 1903 they collaborated on The Age of Shakespeare. At least plausible. Charles Matthews (talk) 06:58, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay I cannot see the page, so I will take your word, and it is a reasonable tie-in. I will tie him down for 1891 and 1900 and see what the data says about him. — billinghurst  sDrewth  07:45, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * And it turns out Seccombe was one year behind Allen at Balliol. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:01, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
