<Worrall's husband, Thomas Herbert Worrall, an interesting figure in himself, had good results in 1850s against some top players. The following fragment comes from Johann Löwenthal's column in 'The Era' of June 20, 1858 [citing from Frank Leslie's 'Illustrated Newspaper']: "Staunton, Worrall, and Morphy – There is an impression upon the minds of the Chess community that the cross play of the three gentlemen named has resulted unfavourably to the latter, as between him and Mr. Staunton. Such an impression is an erroneous one, as the facts do not warrant it. We have the information from a reliable source, that Mr. Worrall played forty-five games in all with Mr. Staunton. Of which he lost twenty-three and won twenty-two. Embraced in these games was a short match, for a consideration, at the odds of the Knight, which match Mr. Worrall won; Mr. Morphy played fifteen games with Mr. Worrall, winning eight and losing seven, none drawn. When we consider the natural advancement in strength of Mr. Worrall's game, which must have taken place during so long a siege against so fine a player as Mr. Staunton, if any reliance at all can be placed upon cross play, Mr. Morphy shows the fairest record.">
