My grandfather, Walter Eric Barnard, who I was informed by my father was
born in the Chequers Pub on Tottenham High Road. The birth certificate for
my grandfather only states place of birth in 1898 as Edmonton. However, when
his father (Alfred Earnest Barnard) was married on 17th December 1893, his
address is listed on the certificate as High Road, and his profession as
publican.
My grandfather, Walter Eric Barnard, went on to become a professional
footballer with Gillingham and Brentford until injury curtailed his career.
