Chess:
|
“E. J.
Sander” featured in newspaper coverage of matches and internal events
of Nottingham Chess Club over the period 1883 to 1894. The
“Sanders” playing for Nottingham versus Derby on
07/01/1882 (Chess Player’s Chronicle, 11/01/1882, p. 21, and Nottinghamshire
Guardian 13/01/1882, p.4) may have been E. J. Sanders, though there
were many people called Sanders in Nottingham. “E.J.
Sanders” played in both of the North of England v South matches, of 1893
and 1894.
|
|
Notes:
|
The London
Gazette of 06/06/1899 listing of new receiving orders include one
regarding Edwin J Sander, out of business, lately lace manufacturer,
residing at 48 Cromwell Street, Nottingham, with factory premises at Clyde
Works, Ossington Street, Radford, Nottingham. By 1901, it seems his
wife had left him, in part out of economic necessity perhaps, and lived as
housekeeper in the household of engineering contractor Thomas Smart at
Trent Bridge. Bernard was in 1911 living with his uncle John.
The 1911 census showed Ellen Maria Sander still living as housekeeper to
Thomas Smart, but was now recorded as a widow, implying Edwin John Sander
had died, one way or another, at some time from 1901 to 1911.

Surname:
|
“Tietjen”
is a German surname. This Thomas Henry, his father George, and
grandfather John, all with English names, were born in London.
Great-grandfather Claus was probably the one who arrived in England as a
migrant around 1800 to 1810.

Netherlands [censuses]

Education:

|
Marriage:
|
Wife in 1881 was
23-year-old “Marian” (born 1856/57, Lewes, Sussex; apparently
of maiden name Lee, as in 1881 census 8-year-old sister-in-law Mabel Lee,
born W Brompton, in household). Wife in 1901 was 53-year-old
“Isabel” (born 1856/57, Lewes, Sussex). Widow in 1920 was
“Marion Isabelle”. These could all be the same person.
The marriage of
“Solomon van Gelder” and “Isabel Lee” in 1884, in
London, is presumably unconnected, unless “Marian” died.

Notes:
|
“Salomon”
is a Dutch name. It gets rendered “Solomon” much of the
time, due to being anglicised, or due to it being misheard or due to
cursive script being misread.
