Family
The son of Arthur Maskell (1849–1917),[2] and Elizabeth Margaret Maskell (1856–1921), née Fuzzard,[3][4][5][6] Arthur Thomas Maskell was born at Tatura, Victoria on 28 March 1894.
He married Teresa Daphne Duggan (1894–1967) on 21 October 1916. They had three children: Edna Jean Maskell (b.1917), Kevin Joseph Maskell (b.1921), and Marie Teresa Maskell (b.1929).
Football
Recruited from Shepparton, he played on the half-back flank in his only senior VFL match for Melbourne, against University, at the MCG, on 28 June 1913, replacing the injured Norm McDougall.[7]
McDougall was fit enough to play in the following match, Maskell was "dropped", and the Herald's football correspondent noted that "Maskell is not likely to play again with Melbourne".[8]
Maskell returned to play in Shepparton's 1913 Goulburn Valley Football League's premiership.[9]
