After Joe Clarke & Will Young broke a very old Notts FC batting record, I thought I would check to see other old partnership records.
I went back to all Pre- Second World War partnership records, so any left before 1939.
Only 1 County has no Pre-second world war partnership records left.
I have excluded Durham for obvious reasons.

So all these records are at least 85 years old , bar the Northants one.
A lot of famous names here but a few lesser lights too.
Hope you find it interesting, surprised that Middx & Surrey had that many old records still.
