Record of chess
activity of “W. J. Ingoldsby” in connection with the city of
London Chess Club appeared in newspapers especially in the 1890s, and then
in connection with Southend Chess Club, on whose committee he served in
1910-11, and probably before/after that. He played in the 2nd British
Amateur Champion ship held in London in 1887, in the 4th in London in1889,
and the 7th in Hastings in 1895. He played in both North of England v
South matches, in 1893
and 1894. He played
in the 1896 Simpson’s Divan tournament.

Notes:
|
It appears the
family surname was originally “Ingoldby”, without an
“s”, which is another form of the surname commonly encountered,
but that the form “Ingoldsby” became adopted somewhere along
the line. Some birth and marriage registrations appear to have been
made without the “s”, as noted above. Also, a probate
list entry regarding William Joseph Ingoldsby started “INGOLDBY or
INGOLDSBY William Joseph”, suggesting the change had been made unofficially
during the chess-player’s lifetime. In censuses prior to 1901,
when the surname was supplied to census enumerators by father James
Ingold(s)by or by a school, the “s” was absent, but as soon as
the chess-player was the householder supplying the surname, the
“s” was present. In particular, W. J. Ingoldsby himself
included the “s” on his 1911 census return, both where he
entered the names of the members of his household, and where he signed the
return, in both cases putting a backward hook (a cursive “s”)
between the “d” and the “b”. His chess
activity was seemingly always under “Ingoldsby” to the extent
that any occurrence of “Ingoldby” would have to be regarded as
a typographical error.

Notes:

Births of him
and his siblings seems not to have been formally registered. Family
seems to have had much money from some source. Paternal grandfather
had been a solicitor. Father looks to have been one who prefixed
“Jones-” to surname Bateman. His father and brothers
Percy, Llewellyn, Cecil and Wilfred all went to Cambridge University.
Lived adult life
initially in London. Moved to Exmouth, Devon, in 1904. Per
obituary (The Western Times, 21/06/1929), he “on account of
indifferent health, did not take an active part in local affairs at
Exmouth, but he was a good friend to local charities, and was well known,
being a member of the Gentlemen’s and Cranford clubs.”
The obituary mentioned he had been a noted chess-player in London.
