Apr-09-13		Tabanus: The chess tournament in Manchester 1853 is new to me. It seems <cg> has no games from it. Anyone knows?

Apr-09-13		Tabanus: Reposted from the Bistro: by Phony Benoni: I've found an obituary for Samuel Newham in "Hudderfield College Magazine" for 1875, p. 218: <DEATH of MR. SAMUEL NEWHAM. This well-known Chess amateur expired at his residence in Nottingham in the month of May last, at the advanced age of eighty-three. He was in his prime considered to be the strongest player in the provinces and took part in the great International Tournament in 1851; having, however, the misfortune in the first round to be drawn against the mighty Szen, he was unhorsed at the outset, losing both his games to the great Hungarian. Mr. Newham took great interest in Yorkshire Chess, and out of compliment to him the old Yorkshire Chess Association in 1841 held its annual gathering at Nottingham. In 1847 Mr. Newham attended the Hull meeting of the same Association, and crossed swords on that occasion with M. St. Amant. Coming down to later times more under our own personal recollection, Mr. Newham often regretted that ill-health prevented him from renewing his former intercourse with his old friends when the present West Yorkshire Chess Association was founded--in 1859 he was on the point of starting for the Huddersfield meeting when a sudden attack of illness compelled him to remain at home.">

Apr-09-13		Tabanus: The National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills) has that he died on 24 March 1875. The birth date is "ca. 1897" in all sources, except Yorkshire Chess History (http://www.sjmann.supanet.com/Peopl...) and the privately made but publicly available family tree in Ancestry.com which both have 24 June 1796 (which could be based on the given baptism document "IGI Index 0825360 (RGA 1586)" of 24 July 1796). There was, however, also one Samuel Newham baptised in Gedling, Nottinghamshire 1 May 1798, and on Samuel Newham baptised in Gedling, Nottinghamshire in 1791, both with a Thomas Newham as the father. The latter may be the Samuel Newham, farmer, who died at age 83 in Nottingham 22 July 1872. The former may be the Samuel Newham that died in New Jersey USA in July 1850 ("birth abt. 1799 - England").

Apr-09-13		keypusher: There is some confusion re a William Newham in the database. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... William Newham

Apr-09-13		Tabanus: <keypusher> Yes, the two games by W Newham are by Samuel Newham (this page), whereas William Newham is OK. I have submitted correction slips.

Jul-03-17		zanzibar: Stale link in bio.

Jul-03-17		Tabanus: Yes, to Yorkshire Chess History site which is now stale, dead, gone. Or preserved somewhere in the WB machine.

Jul-03-17		zanzibar: Yes, wayback still has the pages, thankfully. Can <CG> automatically update all the stale Yorkshire links? (I wrote Edwards at EDOchess about all the stale storiascacchi links, and he updated them all in one go)

Jul-04-17		Tabanus: Or perhaps Steve J Mann could do it himself. His e-mail address is on this page: http://www.englishchess.org.uk/even... Cf. http://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewtopic...

Jul-04-17		zanzibar: Useful links <Tab>, you're more informed on the status than I.

Aug-19-18		MissScarlett: He looks like a right bundle of laughs.
