Biographical data

Name: Plunkett, Horace Curzon

Also known as: Sir Horace Curzon Plunkett

Born: 24 Oct. 1854

Died: 26 Mar. 1932

Notes:

Name given as 'Hon. H.E. Plunkett' in the Illustrated London News of 21 Mar. 1874 (p.283). I guess that this is Horace Curzon Plunkett, who was educated at Oxford. The Chess Player's Chronicle of Apr. 1874 has 'Hon. R.C. Plunkett' on p.57, but 'Hon. H.C. Plunkett' on p.68 of the Jun. 1874 issue.
