OECG and Anderssen - a warning and a question

[Anders Thulin]

I can't find any information about the Anderssen-Carstanjen
and Anderssen-Suhle matches in Köln, 1859 or the Anderssen-Mayet
and Anderssen-Dufresne matches in Berlin the same year in the
Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games.

This may be because there are no known game scores from the
events: the only information about these matches seems to be
the note in Schachzeitung 1859 p 192. The single scores against
Carstanjen and Mayet given in OECG for 1859 are probably from
these events, though.

Bachmann lists the matches in the Teplitz-Schönau 1922 tournament
book as:

Anderssen-Carstanjen +7=1-3
Anderssen-Suhle +27=8-13
Anderssen-Mayet +7=0-1
Anderssen-Dufresne +4=0-0

The Suhle score seems to be a misprint, as the Schachzeitung note
says:

"Suhle ... erstritt, abgesehen from mehrere Remisspielen, unter
sieben entschiedenen Partien ... ein Mal den Sieg."

wich rather suggests a score of +6=?-1.

Now to the question:

Are there other known events that fall within the restrictions
of the OECG but that do not appear in it?
