Non-Chess Life
Nathan Nachbar was a Roumanian by birth who arrived in England in about 1871 with his Roumanian-born family consisting of wife Fanny (born 1844/45), son John, and daughter Malvina. The family seems to have opted for Anglicised forenames for use in this country. The couple ultimately had at least four children in all, as follows:
The places and dates of birth of the children form the basis for assuming the family arrived in England in 1871, give or take a year, and inferring that the family lived in this country originally in Manchester, later moving to Bradford.
White’s Post Office Bradford Directory, 1879-80, listed Nathan Nachbar, merchant, at 16 Chapel Lane, Bradford (presumably business premises)
Kelly's Directory of West Riding of Yorkshire, 1881, listed Nathan Lachbar [sic – meant Nachbar] residing at 30 St. Paul’s Road, Bradford, and Nathan Nachbar, merchant, living at 30 St. Paul’s road, Bradford, with business premises at 51 Chapel Lane.
Byles’s Post Office Bradford Directory, 1883, listed Nathan Nachbar, merchant, with business premises at 51 Chapel Lane, Bradford, and residing at 30 St. Paul’s Road, Bradford. Byles makes no mention of John Henry Charles Pix with whom Nathan Nachbar was soon in partnership.
White's Directory of Bradford, Halifax &c., 1887, listed Nathan Nachbar as a partner in Nachbar and Pix, and resident at 30 St. Paul’s Road, Bradford. “Pix” was John Henry Charles Pix, who lived at 61 Aireville Terrace, Frizinghall. Nachbar and Pix traded at 32 Vicar Lane, Bradford.
The 1891 census found the parents and above four children living at 30 St. Paul’s Road, Manningham, Bradford, with two servants. Father Nathan was a stuff merchant and so John was a medical student.
Death
Nathan Nachbar of 13 Park Drive, Heaton, Bradford, died on 24/02/1901. Probate was granted to two enigmatically named people, Bernard Nathan and Hardy Behrens, merchants. He left effects of £25,421 15s. (Sir Jacob Behrens and Sons were stuff merchants at 1 Collier Gate and at Swain Street. Bernhard Nathan was a woollen merchant involved in Ferdinand Hielborn & Co.)
