Four Wakefield-born members of the Staynes family played chess in Yorkshire over the period around 1885 to 1925 and probably beyond. These were Joe Staynes, his younger brother George Ellis Staynes, and two of George’s sons, Thomas Arthur Staynes and Wilfred Staynes. All played in the Woodhouse Cup for one or more of Wakefield, Huddersfield and Bradford,
Non-Chess Life
His early life is outlined in the entry for his father, George Ellis Staynes. He appears not to have married. He seems to have remained resident in Bradford prior to the second world war, but seems to have moved down to London after that.

T A Staynes played for Bradford in the Woodhouse Cup in 1924-25, and presumably before and/or after that season.
