Biographical data
Name: Boorne, Charles  
Born:
Died:
 
Notes:
Name given as 'Bourne' in some sources, possibly confusing C. Boorne of Bristol with Thomas Bourn of Whitby. Forster also has 'C. Bourne'. The Era of 18 Mar. 1866 (p.6) lists both 'Boorne' and 'Bourne' as present at a Bristol meeting, but this could be an error. The Chess Player's Chronicle of Dec. 1872 (v.3, p.187) has 'Boone', almost certainle an error for 'Boorne'.
