Sandie from the Jockey Club website.... Q I think a member of my family may have been a jockey, how can I find out about him? A If your relative was riding or training after 1900 then we will have a record of the licence issued to him and be able to confirm that he did hold a licence and the years for which he held it. However, it is unlikely that we will have any further information, unless he was particularly successful and his achievements merited a mention in either the Flat or National Hunt racing encyclopaedias. http://www.thejockeyclub(.)co.uk/doc.php Remove brackets Chris
