William Ward (1787-1849) was born in the year in which the Marylchons Club was founded, and joined it just in time to play on the first ground where he made his Arat appearance in July 1910.. He was educated at Winchester, and E. H. Budd 1785-1875. Born two became a leading financier of his year's before the foundation of the age, a Director of the Bank of Club, E. H.
