| Biographical data |
| Name: Halford, John |
| Also known as: John Halford, jun. |
| Born: 1841 |
| Died: 26 Nov. 1881 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige gives birth between 27-11-1840 and 26-11-1841. The Chess Player's Magazine of Aug. 1864 (p.243) has 'J. Halford, Jun.' and Staunton gives 'J. Holford, jun.' in the Birmingham - Worcester Club Match of Apr. 1866. I presume these are the same person. |
