• Notes

  --- "Morning Post" 16 Apr 1866, page 8: Ross -- On Friday, the 13th inst., at 60, Portland-place, the wife of A.H. Ross, Esq., of a son. --- "Hastings and St. Leonards Observer" 21 May 1938, page 17: We regret to announce the Canon A.G. Gordon Ross, President of the British Chess Federation, died suddenly at Oxford on Thursday last week, and was buried on Saturday at St. Mark's, Swindon, where he was vicar for 45 years. We believe the B.C.F. has had only two Presidents since it started in 1904. First, Sir John Thursby, and, since his death, Canon Ross. Both have been liveral supporters of the federation which, for years, has owed much to their generosity. --- "Kington Times" 28 May 1938, page 5: In Memoriam. We deeply regret to learn of the death of Canon A. G. Gordon Ross, President of the British Chess Federation. He attended all the Congresses of the Federation and contributed regularly and handsomely to the Federation's funds, and his geniality and all round usefulness will be greatly missed. --- "Outposts of the Faith: Anglo-Catholicism in Some Rural Parishes" by Michael Yelton, page 102: Samuel Gurney was also directly involved over theyears with a number of parochial missions and the like. In 1930, for example, he was the chairman of the 'Congress of Youth', whihc was designed to interest young people in Anglo-Catholicism and was run in the parish of St. Mark, Swindon, not very far from Compton Beauchamp, under the aegis of the Revd A.G.G. Ross, who had been vicar of the parish since 1903 and prior to that had been curate from 1892 to the Revd the Hon. J.M.G. Ponsonby (later Lord de Mauley), who had established the tradition of worship. --- "Oxford Men and Their Colleges, 1880-1892" Vol. 2, page 523 --- seen on Ancestry.com Ross, Rev.
