Biographical data
Name: Ehrmann, August  
Born: 15 Mar. 1786
Died: 15 Feb. 1876
 
Notes:
The Philidorian and Le Palamède give 'Erhman' or 'Erhmann'. The Chess Player of 14 Aug. 1852 (p.9) gives 'Eherenman, of Strasburg', who I presume to be the same player. Sissa of Nov. 1855 (p.343) has 'Ehrmon', and Sissa of Dec. 1855 (p.360) has 'Ehrman'. The Schachzeitung of Oct. 1869 (p.290) says that Ehrmann is now 85 years old, which would put his birth in 1783 or 1784.
