Dates of birth are inconsistent: from other sources 1758 is the date of baptism. Charles Matthews (talk) 07:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Further reading sections are generally misguided here: no one curates them, they bloat, and there's no guidance as to how any of these are useful:

I have deleted a citation need raised against the name of the house John Bray was reputedly born in on grounds that a citation to An Illustrated Literary Guide to Shropshire (1984), a book I possess, which first occurs at the end of the sentence, covers it by mentioning both the place and year of birth.Cloptonson (talk) 20:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
