Dates of birth and death

edit

I have had notice from a third party via e-mail, that his death date as shown previously was incorrect. Harris' brother (via that third party) provided the dates now shown in the article, but clearly this is not a reliable source. User:Ghmyrtle confirmed there was a Hugh A. Harris, born in Hackney, whose birth was registered in the third quarter of 1964. If anyone can find something more definitive or reliable, then please oblige.

Thank you for that. It does at least confirm the information in the article, however personal experience does not qualify as a reliable source as per Wikipedia's editing guidelines. If only some reliable newspaper, say, had printed those details. Thanks anyway. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 14:11, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I do understand that, I have had similar information about other people in Wiki. whose funerals I have taken. Some was even set aside, even when I said I could send the full transcript of the funeral. What else can I do? I may still have details of his family. Rgds, Simon Allen.
