Please help me identify these mathematicians

geometry mathematicians

Solution 1:

The first one is called the Hervey point, after a person named F. R. J. Hervey (who published a problem pertaining to the Hervey point in the Educational Times in 1891). The second one I believe to be named after an Archibald H. Finlay who contributed the problem to the Mathematical Gazette in 1960. These two mathematicians were probably amateurs who worked out minor proofs in geometry in their spare time.
