Should not all those bouts listed in Jim Driscoll's record actually be listed under Jem Driscoll, the Welsh feather who died in 1925?

I came across a newspaper article yesterday announcing the death of <i>Jem</i> Driscoll, and said he was a Welsh feather from Cardiff, and was the former United Kingdom Feather Champion.

I've saw both Jim and Jem several times, but I think that Jem is the correct spelling.
