Charles Abbott

Charles Albert Abbott, born in 1867 with no death date recorded, was a South African international lawn bowls player who competed in the 1934 British Empire Games, the event now known as the Commonwealth Games. At those Games he won the bronze medal in the singles event. By trade he was a building contractor. He was living in Bournemouth at the time of the Games and travelled to the event with his wife Emma, which is one of the few personal details that survive about him. The English Wikipedia article gives his birth year as 1867 and records no year of death, and it lists the bronze medal in the singles as his only recorded result.
