Biographical data
Name: Earle, R.C.  
Born:
Died: Apr. 1895
 
Notes:
The 3 May 1895 issue of Bunyip (p.4) says that he died 'last week'. Presumably, this is not the 'R. Earle' who played in Liverpool from Mar. to May 1884. Name given variously as 'R.C. Earl' and 'R.C. Earle'. The South Australian Weekly Chronicle of 12 Aug. 1882 (p.11) has 'R.E. Earl'. The Evening Journal (Adelaide) of 19 Oct. 1882 (p.3) says that 'Earl' had been a member of the City of London Club.
