Hi
My name is John MacNeil and I am currently researching for a book to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Stenhousemuir Cricket Club in Scotland. Two of our former members worked in the Hollywood Film industry at the time your club was founded in 1932. James Finlayson was an actor who had 254 Hollywood acting roles (most notably in Laurel and Hardy movies). His brother Robert appears to have been the better cricketer and he was a Camera Technician at Hollywood from 1930-1955 (approx). Robert it seems sometimes captained the Hollywood side. Do you have any scorecards from these days? It would be interesting to see who the played alongside. There is no record that I can find of James Finlayson playing for Hollywood CC, but I feel it is very likely but perhaps not in first XI. Thanks for reading this and hopefully you will be able to help in some regard.
