Biographical data
Name: Heath, Christopher Barclay  
Born: 1877
Died: 10 May 1961
 
Notes:
Hooper and Whyld give date of birth as 1887 in their 1st edition, but correct it to 1877 in their second edition. Gaige gives 1877. Gaige has 'G.B. Heath' at Southport 1924. I am guessing that this is an error for C.B. Heath.
