Non-Chess Life

 

Samuel Vernon Foulston was born to William Lawson Foulston (born Hessle 1852) and Elizabeth Foulston (née Rushworth, 1853, Shoreditch) who married in 1881, at Hackney, and went on to have at least the following children:

 

Janet Foulston

born 1883, Hull

William Frederick Foulston

born 1888, Hull

Samuel Vernon Foulston

born 1893, Hull

 

Father William was the eponym of W. L. Foulston & Co. glass manufacturers, whose business premises were at 41 Cumberland Street, Hull, and his home address in the 1899 Hull directory was 71 Ryde Street, Hull. 

 

In 1901 the family living at 71 Ryde Street, consisted of parents, three children but at that stage no servants.

 

In 1906, Samuel’s sister Janet died at the age of 29.

 

By 1911, the household had acquired a servant.  Samuel was now a student, though of what and where wasn’t evident.

 

The 1913 and 1919 Hull directories recorded the parental home at 19 Westcott Street, Hull.  The father’s bottle business was still at Cumberland street, but there was also William F. L. Foulston, glass manufacturer trading at New George Street.  (Was Samuel’s older brother William Frederick Lawson Foulston?  This third initial seems to appear nowhere else but in Kelly.)

 

It seems Samuel may have married Ann E Helm in 1913, at Skirlaugh, ENE of Beverley, though if it were he then “V” was omitted from the registration.  A later marriage (again without a “V”) to Elsie Watson in 1929, at Beverley, also may have involved our man.

 

Chess

 

S V Foulston played for Hull’s Woodhouse Cup team from 1924 or before, through more of less to his death.

 

Death

 

Samuel Vernon Foulston died in June 1939, in the Holderness registration area, aged 46.
