| Biographical data |
| Name: Newham, Samuel |
| Born: 24 June 1796 |
| Died: 24 Mar. 1875 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Sergeant gives date of death as 03-07-1875; Gaige gives date of death as 24-03-1875; the Huddersfield College Magazine of Jul. 1875 (p.218) gives date of death as May 1875. The obituary in the City of London Chess Magazine of Jun. 1875 (p.137) says he was 83 at death, which would imply that he was born in 1791 (or 1792), but Gaige gives date of birth as 24-06-1796. |
