Isaac Mills (cricketer)
Isaac Mills (5 April 1869 – 16 August 1956) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket for Auckland between 1890 and 1903 and represented New Zealand. Mills's family migrated from England to New Zealand in 1873, sailing on the ''Berar''. A opening batsman, Ike Mills was one of Auckland's leading players in the 1890s. His brothers Edward and George also played for Auckland. Mills top-scored for Auckland in three consecutive matches in the 1893–94 season. In the second match, against Otago, he carried his bat for 88 not out in a team total of 156. He played in New Zealand's first representative match later that season, against the touring New South Wales team, opening the batting and facing the first delivery. However, he made only 5 and 3, and New Zealand lost by 160 runs. Mills top-scored in each innings when Auckland played the touring Australians in November 1896, scoring 20 and 28, and was selected to play for New Zealand later that month, but he was ...

Dartford
Dartford is the principal town in the Borough of Dartford, Kent, England. It is located south-east of Central London and is situated adjacent to the London Borough of Bexley to its west. To its north, across the Thames estuary, is Thurrock in Essex, which can be reached via the Dartford Crossing. The town centre lies in a valley through which the River Darent flows and where the old road from London to Dover crossed: hence the name, from ''Darent + ford''. Dartford became a market town in medieval times and, although today it is principally a commuter town for Greater London, it has a long history of religious, industrial and cultural importance. It is an important rail hub; the main through-road now by-passes the town itself. Geography Dartford lies within the area known as the London Basin. The low-lying marsh to the north of the town consists of London Clay and the alluvium brought down by the two rivers—the Darent and the Cray—whose confluence is in this area. T ...

Tom Reese
Thomas Wilson Reese (29 September 1867 – 13 April 1949) was a New Zealand first-class cricketer who played for Canterbury from 1888 to 1918, and later wrote a two-volume history of New Zealand cricket. Life and career Reese was one of the first pupils at Christchurch Boys' High School. He was the older brother of Dan Reese, who captained the New Zealand cricket team from 1907 to 1914. Jack Reese, a younger brother, also played cricket. His younger brother Alexander went as a missionary to Brazil. His youngest brother, Andrew Reese, was an architect; he was killed in action in 1917. Their father, Daniel Reese, was a builder and a member of parliament. Tom played irregularly over two decades for Canterbury, batting low in the order. He reached fifty only once, when he made 53 against Hawke's Bay in 1903–04. However, he was regarded as one of the best fieldsmen in New Zealand. A spectacular catch he took in his first first-class match established his reputation: Niven sent ...

People From Medway
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
