There are records a bit later of an "H Bembridge" playing cricket for Cinder Hill Colliery, which was at Basford, close to Bulwell. Also for a Bembridge, playing for Duffield, over the county border in Derbyshire, also a coalfield area. A hypothesis is that Bembridge was a coal miner.

A Joseph Bembridge in Bulwell in the 1870s was a shopkeeper. The name can also be spelled Bainbridge. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:55, 14 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
