Thanks. More on Eric B-H at Mundia:

- with five separate entries for what is obviously the same person, and clear indications of WP:SPS, this is unlikely to be a WP:RS. The same site also has one or more entries each for five of the six children (Kenneth being the exception):

Company Director

The 1911 Census shows him as a Company Director newly married at 31 Hans Place in Chelsea. Many years before being a director is mentioned in the article. MilborneOne (talk) 14:13, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Ah, but a director of which company? It is permissible to be a director of several companies simultaneously. In this case, I could only find three: Great Central Railway; London & North Eastern Railway; and Catalinas Warehouses and Mole. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:36, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Still looking but he was certainly not short of a bob or two, he had a house in Chelsea with six servants but no clues to what he was acutally doing. MilborneOne (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Bit in the Staffordshire Sentinel on 8 June 1912 at presentation of cup and medals to the "Shelton I.S. & C. Co. Amateur League" The thanks of the meeting were also accorded Mr. E.B. Butler-Henderson, Director of the Shelton Company, for his kindness in presenting the league both sets of gold medals. MilborneOne (talk) 14:49, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

In 1928 he was elected to the board of the "Pernambuco Tramways and Power Company" ("Pernambuco Tramways And Power Company." Times [London, England] 22 May 1928: 25. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 2 Feb. 2014.) MilborneOne (talk) 15:15, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

In 1931 he was reported as a Director of "The Beunos Ayres Great Southern Railway Company Limited". ("THE BUENOS AYRES GREAT SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY LIMITED (Incorporated under the Companies Act. 1862)." Times [London, England] 17 June 1931: 21. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 2 Feb. 2014.) MilborneOne (talk) 15:19, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

In 1932 he became a director of the "London Electric Supply Corporation" ("London Electric Supply Corporation." Times [London, England] 16 Mar. 1932: 23. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 2 Feb. 2014.). MilborneOne (talk) 15:21, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

In 1933 he was reported as Chairman of the Witan Investment Company Limited. ("Witan Investment Company." Times [London, England] 22 June 1933: 22. The Times Digital Archive. Web. 2 Feb. 2014.). MilborneOne (talk) 15:25, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

• He appears to have been Chairman and/or director of many more companies through the 1930s and 1940s. MilborneOne (talk) 15:28, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

@MilborneOne: Thanks for these edits. Regarding that, please could you source the place of birth and the place of death? Both Norwood Green, Middlesex and Andover, Hampshire are mentioned in some of the Mundia links (see above), but despite the lack of contradiction between those pages, I can't consider Mundia to be a reliable source. I added a URL for the Aberdeen Journal, but a registration-free URL would be better: do you know of one? Just so that you are aware, somebody's sent the article to DYK without checking that the article was ready yet, so I'd like to get these sourcing issues fixed before somebody complains. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:17, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I thought I should mention here that there's no rush to get everything fixed up for DYK. There is a backlog of nominations for DYK. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 00:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Just to mention that as a printed newspaper the Aberdeen Journal doesnt actually need a URL, added a ref for Norwood Green (the 1891 Census). MilborneOne (talk) 17:57, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Infobox

Wouldn't the article benefit from {{Infobox Military Person}}? Mjroots (talk) 21:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
