Name: Holeman, A.

Also known as: Holeman, sen.

Born:

Died:

Notes:

Name given as 'Holman' and 'Holeman' with more-or-less equal frequency. The spelling 'Haleman' also appears in the Illustrated London News of 12 Nov. 1870 (p.507) and 8 Jul. 1871 (p.27) and the Era of 9 Jul. 1871 (p.7). A player named 'I. Holman' in the Illustrated London News of 10 Jul. 1875 (p.47) and 'T. Holeman' in the City of London Chess Magazine of Aug. 1875 (p.199) is listed as playing for the Bermondsey Club against the International Club in June 1875, but I suspect that these are both errors for A. Holeman. In that event there was also a J. Holman (or Holeman) playing for Bermondsey, and there are many events in 1875-1877 with both an A. Hol[e]man and a J. Hol[e]man, but I have found no other reference to an I. Holman or T. Holeman. In 1876 and in 1882, we find 'Holeman, sen.' and 'Holeman, jun.' often listed as playing for the Bermondsey club. When the Bermondsey Club played the City of London Club in Jul. 1876, two of the Bermondsey players are listed as 'Holman' and 'J. Holman'. I guess, therefore, that A. Holeman was the senior, and J. Holeman the junior. This is also supported by the fact that A. Holeman appears as early as 1870, while J. Holeman first appears in 1875. A player named 'Holman' or 'Holeman' also played for the City of London Club in the 5th Class, from Aug. 1874 to July 1875, and then in the 4th Class in Nov. 1875. I am guessing that this was A. Holeman, the senior of the two. More doubtful is the player who played in the Junior Handicap of the City of London Club, run in parallel with the main handicap tournament of the Club. A 'Holman' played in both events, and I am guessing that in both cases it was A. Holeman, though there is a possibility that it was J. Holeman in the Junior Handicap.
