Biographical data
Name: Fieldsend, Thomas  
Born: 1832
Died: 1906
 
Notes:
Given as 'J. Fieldsend' in the 9 June 1866 issue of the Illustrated London News (p.571), the July 1866 issue of the Chess World (vol.2, p.156) and the 24 Oct. 1867 issue of the Leeds Mercury (p.3). 'J.T. Fieldsend' is listed as a Bradford player in the 22 Mar. 1884 issue of Land and Water (p.274). I am guessing that this is Thomas Fieldsend.
