A couple I can help with: Gerald Lee and John Higham. Quite a number of the others were not Football League officials but this wasn't unusual in major non-league Finals.

One oddity is that N Dickinson was actually billed as "R Dickinson" in his earlier years as a Football League linesman - the same address so presumably the same official. It's just possible the R and the N might be different forms of the same first name, e.g. a more formal and less formal version such as with "Robert" and "Bob", which might help in tracking down a name.

thank you, the same pattern is showing itself with the early Vase officials - they were Southern/Isthmian types

F.A. were quite formal with W for William, not B for Bill, R for Robert, not B for Bob

I am trying to think of an R/N combination
