I agree. John Taylor, Wrexham Olympic secretary and later FAW secretary, was born in Bilston, Staffordshire in 1860 or 1861 so can't have been the earlier chap. Once he'd done his time he was a newsagent in Bank Street for some 20 years. He died in Wrexham in 1933 and Ted Robbins attended the funeral. To their credit the FAW also sent a wreath.
