Biographical data

Name: Robey, James

Also known as: Roby

Born: 1826

Died: Nov. 1885

Notes:

Di Felice and La Grande Storia degli Scacchi give 'Robey, James' at London 1862. Gaige, Feenstra Kuiper and the Illustrated London News (26 July 1862, p.95) give just 'Robey'. Gaige lists a 'Rob(e)y, James', born 1826, died 'c11-1885', and so this could have been the player at London 1862. However, the Chess Player's Chronicle of June 1860 (p.173) mentions an 'S. Robey' in London. Furthermore, the Chess Player's Chronicle of June 1861 (p.161) suggests that Robey came from Sidney (Sydney, Australia?).
