WikiProject Biography Assessment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 04:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC) a lifelong supporter of the British Union of Fascists, to which she made financial contributions until 1994.

This cannot be right as the BUF ceased to exist in 1940, I'm removing the later part of this statment, and the word 'lifelong' from the first clause. Perhaps the author meant a life long supporter of fascism and financially supported fascist organizations other than the BUF, of this I have no information. Mintguy 20:57, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)

After deleting the above, it has returned in the following form

After her marriage she was a lifelong supporter of the British Union of Fascists, to which she made financial contributions until the 1994 death of its organiser Jeffrey Hamm. She often attended its annual dinners.

The BUF ceased to exist in 1940, Jeffrey Hamm died in 1980 and he was the leader on the "Union Movement". Please please, check your facts!! Mintguy 17:58, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Appologies for missing the appearance of the talk link. I was rearranging the text and I'm afriad I didn't notice you deletion of the above text. I have changed to sentence to refer to the Union Movement but I have been unable to find any references to Jeffrey Hamm's death other than being in 1994. I believe that Mosley died in 1980 are you sure you're not thinking of that?


"She later married Scot Gabriel McClelland."

I can't find any evidence for the above mentioned marriage. Am I missing something or is someone mistaken? Cjrother 18:57, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • I couldn't find any references to this marriage so I removed the sentence. Cjrother 14:29, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Diana Mitford, Lady Mosley

Is this title correct? I would have thought that she wouldn't have been called Mitford after she married Mosley. Should the comma be replaced by "later known as" or should it just say Diana Mitford as it used to? Cjrother 03:26, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Stella Tennant is a granddaughter of Deborah. Stella appears in the upcoming Burberry campaign.

[edit] supermodels

Recently added by an anonymous user: "Two of her grandchildren are supermodels. [The Sisters by Mary Lovell]"

Does anyone know who these two are? There can't be that many supermodels can there? I have no idea what the text in the single square bracket is. Cjrother 04:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

I think the bit in the square brackets may have been an attempt at a reference. Anyway I have removed it. Cjrother 03:46, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
It was clearly a footnote. I've restored it. Even an ill-formed reference is better than no reference at all. - Nunh-huh 04:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] incarceration with Mosely

I believe there were other men incarcerated at Holloway (women's prison), namely, Major de Laessoe and at least one other man, with whom they shared quarters with (3 couples to a cottage). When Churchill cleared the way for the Mosely to join Diana, he did so for all the remaining couples incarcerated under the wartime Rule 18B.
