| Biographical data |
| Name: Rea, William |
| Born: 6 Sep. 1844 |
| Died: |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige has date of death as 19-11-1909. Steve Mann says he was buried on 05-04-1902. I don't know which is correct. The British Chess Magazine of Feb. 1883 (p.69) and Land and Water (27 Jan. 1883) have 'Ray, Wakefield' listed as playing for Yorkshire against Lancashire. Steve Mann tentatively identifies this player as William Rea, and I have accepted this identification. |
