Initial response:

EDIT: I've removed this response from the ODNB as I've just noticed I'm not supposed to quote them. Positive reply though.

Reply from the research editor:

EDIT: just read I'm not supposed to quote their reply anywhere, so just to say I have had a positive response! They still have to investigate further before changing anything though, which is fair enough.

Translated to mean:

Oh, you pest, you have now given me untold hours of work.

Well done Merry. It really does go to show that no source is ever impeccable unless you have seen the original YOURSELF. Something which my old headmaster constantly stated but which I didn't understand at the time.

Good result. I've amended things on Wikipedia a few times when I can prove that I'm right.
