Pall-Ex link edit

the link for Pall-Ex on this page only links to this page. Seems a useless linking. Rhodesisland (talk) 01:18, 26 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Good catch. Deleted the wikilink. Ebikeguy (talk) 02:55, 26 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation of surname edit

I think most people might assume that Devey rhymes with weavey. But it is in fact "D'vay". I tried to add an IPA pronunciation guide, but this has been removed. Is the pronunciation considered trivial, or in dispute, or something else? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:06, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Spouse Edwin Charles Devey edit

It seems Edwin has Been missed from the list of Spouses? 130.93.74.162 (talk) 06:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Added "Ed Devey" per ref (haven't found ref for fuller name). In the Desert Island Discs interview, she said that that marriage lasted "about five years", but cannot get the infobox to render "c.2008" or "c. 2008" correctly. Davidships (talk) 23:11, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Date and place of birth edit

These are currently supported by this source, but FreeBMD is not regarded as WP:RS. The source in the infobox here does not work for me. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:38, 13 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Curiously this source, from companycheck.co.uk, gives her birth as March 1954. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:18, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
As is frequently the case, CompanyCheck has multiple entries for the same person, the other two have March 1957, see [1][2]. So not a reliable source. Davidships (talk) 12:50, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. And what about the entry here at Companies House? One might expect that to be reliable? (although no day of the month is ever given on these) Martinevans123 (talk) 13:16, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
The obituary from The Guardian now seems to support place and date, so I will add. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:28, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
