[edit] Alan's fears? What fears?

"Alan's fears for Christopher and Lesley's future offspring had proven justified..."

What fears? Was a sentence lost? rjrjr

No sentence was lost that I can see. His fear was that the baby would be born deformed or retarded because the couple was so closely related. It is quite often the case when first cousins procreate that their offspring will be deformed in such a manner. Dismas|(talk) 14:44, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Those are the obvious fears, but the phrasing implies that we've already been told that Alan in particular was worried about this. We haven't been. rjrjr

I removed that sentence. There's no justification here; cerebral palsy is not hereditary and so could not have resulted from inbreeding. Serendipodous 09:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Lots of citations needed

This makes some quite serious claims about the life a living person, and lacks any verifiable sources for this information. If someone could add some it would be a good idea. 82.69.80.47 (talk) 22:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Tagged. Cleaning up my To Do list just now I found that in Jan '07 I was going to tag this as self-published too, though I'm not sure why any more. Should that be done?

[edit] Birthdate change

To the editor changing the birth info: all the references I see in a quick Google search show August 21st, not 23rd, as his birthday... do you have some reference for this change? Pinball22 19:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
