Sep-09-23 Arthur Eva
| |
| DataFly: Thanks John. I think Arthur was actually born on the 26th November, 1875, not 1876. There's a matching birth registration in Q4 1875 (mother's maiden name, Quick, is correct) and the 1939 register has his DoB as 26th November, 1875. |

| |
| DataFly: "Napier's parents returned to England about the turn of the century". That may be the case, but they subsequently returned to the USA as William's father, John Napier, died in Brooklyn on the 18th April, 1914, and William's mother, Isabella Hester (nee Colyer) died in Scranton, ... |

| DataFly: No, Marion Tinsley seems to have been 100% American for at least a couple of generations back. His paternal grandfather was Wilbur S Tinsley (1850-1919). |

May-08-23 Michael John Franklin
| |
| DataFly: I'm pretty sure that Mike Franklin was not Scottish Champion in 1951, or indeed any other year! The wording of the "Remembering FM Mike Franklin" article on the British Chess News site is a bit confusing and I think it means that Aird Thomson was Scotttish Champion in 1951, moved to |

| DataFly: I've just noticed a comment on John Saunders' britbase site:
https://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/pg... "Note that some years ago Mary Henniker-Heaton's forename was given on BritBase as "Monica" in error. The error was identified and eradicated here in 2017. I'm not sure who or what ... |

Apr-10-23 Thomas Barnes
| |
| DataFly: I can only find Barnes in one census, that of 1871. In that he is described as being unmarried and his occupation as a barrister. The most important detail is that his place of birth is given as Ireland, which suggests that he should be considered as being Irish rather than English. |
