- ↑ The sources disagree on his name. Rayment (op. cit.) lists him as "Patrick Fullam", whilst Walker (1978) lists him as "Patrick Fulham". The London Gazette of 29 July 1892 records his name as "Patrick Fee Chance", but in the Gazette's record of the by-election in 1893, his name is recorded as "Patrick Fulham". The Times lists him once as Fulham but mainly as Fullam, including detailed coverage of the election petition. Finally, the spelling 'Fullam' is used in the 1901 census, which appears to list him - for more, see the Talk pae.
