			: [http://www.redlegsmuseum.com.au/ON_FIELD/PLAYERS/SEXTONJack.aspx Redlegs Museum] lists date of birth as 1907 and this ties in with the age 29 references. Contemporary newspaper articles all state his age as 29. Am amending our record accordingly. --[[User:Ranga\|Ranga]] 12:42, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
