[edit] Discussion

ambiguous date: born 6-8-1937

Since Babs is British, I'd imagine the date is in British format; and the IMDB agrees. Psmith 01:37, 11 Oct 2003 (UTC)

6 August gets more Google hits. Angela 01:45, Oct 11, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Cockney Sparrow

[edit] Photograph

• Could anyone find another photo of her, this one really isnt too flattering! I've tidied this page up, but it doesn't look right with this photo. Thanks to anyone that can help. --Berks105 19:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that photo is terrible. There must be a better one available. Colin4C 18:28, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

I've added GRO references for her birth (there are two Barbara A. Deeks born in that quarter - one in Finsbury; one in Stepney - choose Stepney for Shoreditch) and the first and third marriages, but am unable to locate her second marriage. Can anyone confirm the date (as given?) and the location. I suspect it was abroad. Ian Cairns (talk) 11:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

According to her autobiography, it was in Jamaica (at the Ocho Rios resort) on April 12 1986. Gusworld (talk) 01:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I've added that as a ref.--UpDown (talk) 08:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
