Bagshaw Cockayne
entered a business partnership with members of a family by the name of
Fenton. This proved not to be a good move, except in so far as it put
business in the way of fellow Athenaeum Chess Club member, Edward Savile Foster,
as evidenced by the London Gazette of 21st January 1881, which carried
the following notice:
|

Thereafter there
appeared corresponding notices regarding the parties’ personal estates.
The liquidation

closing date of 17th December 1884.
