When I have gone to update my file with these new info about Corinne Gould, I have seen that I had them already.
Then I have searched where I had taken them, and I have discovered that these new info were already posted by Rollo in the post #811 on last October 5.

Thanks LKK for have posted again the exact dates about Corinne Gould.
Her husband's surname is Chamberlain, not Chamberlian.

Good find Jimbo

I have a couple of other tidbits on Gisela that may help find more on her.

She played the French and Wimbledon in 1928 as Fraulein Enger, so her marriage was sometime on or after July 1928. Also, Wimbledon sources lists her as PG Enger. Thus her first name started with a "P" and she went by her middle name of Gisela.

Thanks but I have found nothing much about her!
I think her marriage was later, because in our yearly threads she appears as Gisela Enger also in '37, '38, '39, but in September '41 she played in Dresden as married.
