The last season that addresses were provided

Could be wrong but is 97, J H Holbrook of Telford not the J H Holbrook of Ludlow, Shropshire who is shown in Upton's as being a FL referee for two seasons, 1993 - 1995? If it is the same chap, he seems to have stepped down a rung, a bit like later FL referees such as Karl Evans and Steve Rushton.

38 is Stephen / Steven Clingo.

97 Is John H Holbrook from Ludlow - as AT says, had two unsuccessful years on the referees list before reverting to the Linesman's list.

Others I can confirm:
27 is Dave (David Bryan).
29 is Keith Bullen (I believe).
33 is Mike (Michael) Cairns.
51 is Mike (Michael) Dearing.
56 is Danny (Daniel) Downs.
58 is Peter Eastwood (I believe).
64 is Brian Fish.
58 is Simon Gagen.
74 is Eddie (Edward) Green.
80 is Mike (Michael) Hair - I believe he is related to Neil Hair.
85 is Eddie (Edward) Hannah (I believe).
98 is Dave (David) Horlick (I believe).
110 is Mike (Michael) Joy.
115 is Andrew Richard Legg (I am 100% certain of this one  :)).
120 is Phil (Philip) March.
128 is Graham Monk.
135 is John Norbury.
143 is Gary Parish.
146 is Neil Perkin.
150 is Kevin Pike (I believe).
156 is Barry Priest (I believe).
171 is Richard Saunders - who had a long tenure as a FL Linesman despite having a disability affecting both arms.
172 is Phil (Philip) Sharp.
175 is John Sheffield (I believe).
184 is Trevor Stevens (I believe).
185 is Mike (Michael) Stobbart.
194 is Mike (Michael) Tingey.
198 is David Unsworth (I believe).
204 is Ray Ward (I believe).

He gave one of the worst back-pass decisions I have ever seen at Rochdale v Wycombe in April 1994.

To his credit, he admitted to the local press he got it wrong, but it was no surprise he disappeared soon after.

I would have thought that S E Williams is Steve Williams, but he was from Chorley rather than Macclesfield :-

https://www.stevewilliamstalks.co.uk/talks/

"From 1967 to 1996, I spent 29 years as a Referee and Linesman in schoolboy, youth, amateur, non-League football and the professional game, seeing many changes along the way".

148 was known locally as John Perry and I ran his line about 20 years ago as a kid myself. Great guy and bloody good referee hence being on the list!

Barry Oldham is the father of Scott Oldham.

Are you sure about Andy Hall/Bradley Hall? The locations of Bradley's appointments suggest a more northern-based official, unless Andy has moved!
