Died 4 June 1987, Weymouth, Dorset. Played 1914, 1920. He was among the nine children of Walter Waugh, a chemical merchant, and Anne Maria Marshall, who lived successively in Hackney, Leyton, Wanstead and finally at Chigwell Hall, Chigwell. Stanley and two of his brothers attended Forest School, where they were in the cricket and football 1st XIs. Hubert Percy Waugh scored 128 of his 213 runs for Essex 1st XI in one innings, against Glamorgan at Leyton in 1928. Their older brother Captain Arthur James Waugh (1887-1916) was possibly a better cricketer than either. Against Essex Club & Ground at Leyton, he scored 71 not out and took 8 for 52 for Forest School in 1905 and took 9 for 6 for Old Foresters in 1911. He was also a goal-scoring forward for Casuals FC. He became a doctor but was killed at Guillemont on the Somme on 17 August 1916, while serving as a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, attached to the 1st Battalion of the North Staffordshire Regiment. He never played for the 1st or 2nd XI, probably because he was getting his medical qualification at Barts, but he appeared on a list produced in 1917 of Essex players who were serving in the Forces. In 1917 Stanley Waugh was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Yeomanry. In 1922 he married Nora Reintjens and they had six children, one of whom was adopted. Electoral registers show that they lived at Breewood Hall, Great Horkesley, and in 1931 he was also listed as the occupier of ‘Hut near Beach’, West Mersea. In 1936 she divorced him in an undefended case, and obtained custody of the children. Stanley married Marjorie Ford and went to live with her in Weymouth, Dorset, where they had two sons. In 1939 he was a self-employed house builder. He died in 1986, leaving just over £200,000. For Essex 2nd XI, Waugh did not fulfil his schoolboy promise. He played against Kent 2nd XI in 1914 and against Norfolk and Bedfordshire in 1920. In all three matches he made ducks in the first innings, and in the second innings 7, 12 and 4. Remarkably only Waugh, Charles Round and possibly the professional W Davis played for Essex 2nd XI before and after the Great War. .
