Those listed are the persons featured in the referee article series in the newspaper, NOT the Liverpool match referee that day in the programme

There are two very useful websites giving details of referees for Leeds games v Liverpool and v Chelsea - lfchistory.net and stamford-bridge.com/referee .
They are not 100%, for example F V Stringer does not appear in the Nov 1955 game which you mention, but they are still v useful particularly for games from the 1960s and 1970s onwards. Linesmen / ARs are not included.

I checked a programme too it was F.V. Stringer

I only need 3 refs* + 3 items to be clarified

* from 2 FA Cup qualifying rounds
