I am sure you have searched extensively, but are there any RS sources on who his mother was?
- Sadly not. Based on Ancestry, I can tell you she was Mary, but even with that information, I haven't been able to find a RS to support it. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 16:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I see. Thanks for trying! ツLunaEatsTuna (💬)— 16:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would wikilink Brighton as a good chunk of non-English readers are likely to not recognise it.
- Linked. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence starting "He played second-class cricket" is on the longer side. I think "and during the 1895 season" could be split into its own sentence.
- Split and trimmed. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Looks good.
Add a citation to the efn note.
- Any update?
  - @LunaEatsTuna: Sorry, I did independently remember that I'd missed this! Added now. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 17:04, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - It happens! I happened to be online when you pinged me :)
"By the end of the 1897 season Cricket" – I believe this needs a comma?

Refs

Passes spotcheck—no concerns with refs 2, 6, 7, 10 or 15. I have access to BNA. Formatting:

The title of ref 9 is missing a space.
- Added. Harrias ^{(he/him) • talk} 10:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other

Short desc, section formatting, external link and cats good.

Recommend adding WP:ALT text to the image with the alt = parameter.

Improved to Good Article status by Harrias (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 21:25, 20 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Montagu Toller; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi Onegreatjoke (talk), review follows; article promoted to GA on 16 February; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on source and Earwig is clear; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in the article, AGF on offline sourcing (though other sources I checked confirm the fact); a QPQ has been carried out.
