|
Chess:
|
He was active in
Manchester chess at least from 1886 to 1894. He was a member of the
Manchester Athenaeum Chess club, being on the Committee in 1890-91 (at
least). He played in both North v South matches of 1893
and 1894, and also the
1894 Manchester v West Riding match, but did not play in county matches
against Yorkshire, it seems.
|
Notes:
|
“A. T.
Hargreaves” crops up often, but a full forename never seems to be
given. Births registered in names answering to “A. T.
Hargreaves” are those of Arthur Thomas Hargreaves, birth reg. 1848,
Manchester, and Abraham Taylor Hargreaves, birth reg. 1850, Rochdale, and
finally this Arthur Thomas Hargreaves. Abraham Taylor Hargreaves died
in 1891, well before “A. T. Hargreaves” stopped playing chess,
so can be discounted. Arthur Thomas Hargreaves is less easy to
dismiss. There is no death record evident for him, unless it be under
“Arthur Hargreaves”. Turning to census records, this Arthur
Thomas Hargreaves is the only “A. T. Hargreaves” evident, while
looking at those listed as simply “Arthur Hargreaves” in 1891
in the broad Manchester area throws up only a cotton weaver, brewery stoker
and such. Thus this Arthur Thomas Hargreaves, a solicitor’s
clerk, is the only plausible candidate to be the chess-player.
