caption_attribution_description: English: Autograph signature of William Peirce Dix, from his marriage record
context_page_description: William Peirce Dix was a British sports administrator, accountant, stockbroker, and political operative.
context_section_description: The spellings Peirce Dix, Pierce Dix, and Pearce Dix are all found in contemporary sources; in addition the name is often hyphenated (for example, to W. Pierce-Dix).  "Peirce" is the spelling used by Dix in handwritten sources.  Although "Peirce" was originally his middle name and "Dix" his surname (his father's name was William Henry Dix),  Dix did often use a hyphenated form of his name ("W. Pierce-Dix"), as if "Pierce-Dix" were a double-barrelled surname: he also gave several of his children the middle name "Peirce".
