VERY much of a long shot, but you never know. Anyone out there who knows anyone who's interested in the history of boxing in Nottingham ? I've got a James Bingley Asher from Nottingham who emigrated to the US as a young man towards the end of the nineteenth century. According to family folklore he was a prizefighter (& a womaniser),in Nottingham but I've not been able to find out anything.
Not a very nice character at all....another story that's been passed down is that he used to chew tobacco & spit it out down people's clothes (sorry, chaps)
Probably made up the prizefighting & womanising stories to sound macho
