Biographical data
Name: Ingoldsby, William Joseph  
Born: 1857
Died: 1 Aug. 1937
 
Notes:
Di Felice has 'W.J. Ingoldsby'; Harding has 'N.J. Ingoldsby'. Steve Mann gives full name and biographical details. The family name was originally 'Ingoldby', without the 's', but the chess player seems always to have used the form with the 's'.
