Hi English Daisy
That was quick!!!
Absolutely amazed to see your posting about the little envelopes you had. Wondering if you still had them. I am compiling a book for my friend on her Syers/Gregory Jones's. She is the ggreat grand-daughter of John Gregory Jones. Would it be an imposition to ask if there was any chance of scanned images of them - she would be absolutely delighted to actually see a little bit of history? I have discovered that he was amongst the original founders of the Liverpool Chess League...one of the hottest in the country during the 19thC. Sadly, the family lost their fortune by heavily investing in the mines which went bust in Chile and Peru.
It would be fantastic if I could share any information with Bruce Duncan, if he still visits these boards, or anyone else connected. Seems he may have an English cousin living in Australia
