| A player named 'Franklin' appears in the Chess Player's Chronicle of 1847 (v.8, p.146). A 'W. Franklin' is listed as a member of the Liverpool Chess Club from 1858 (Edgar, Liverpool Chess Club, 1893). Could either or both of these be 'W. Franklin' of the Bristol Chess Club, active in the 1860s and 1870s? |
