Trying to find out the real name of a Boxer who was called Darkey Haley. He was born 4th September 1884 in Leyton or Leytonstone. He was boxing in the early 1900's
Can anyone enlighten me.?

Could be 1884

March quarter

Haley George William W. Ham 4a 210

Mile end took in Leyton

December quarter

Haley Edward Henry W. Ham 4a 18

These are the only two for 1884 males in the area of Leyton

The March one is a bit early but the December quarter sounds promising you said September as dob

Paula, what brilliant photos on that site - I looked for my grandads but not there sadly. Lovely for anyone who does find a photo to buy.
