Author talk:Reginald Littleboy

Background
I'm identifying this author with the Reginald Littleboy who was an undergraduate at Oriel College, Oxford. He can be tied into the person mentioned on ancestry.com:

Reginald Littleboy Father Frederic Littleboy Mother Susan Amy Pim Birth 9 Aug 1897 Sunderland, Durham, England Death 15 Aug 1975 Hove, Sussex, England Residence 1911 Packwood, Warwickshire, England

I have checked most of that: the father Frederic Littleboy was a corn miller in Sunderland, until moving south. Frederic's mother Sophia Richardson was married to a brother of Joseph Richardson (Liberal politician). The mother was from an Irish Quaker family.

The identification is via some newspaper articles. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:23, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
