I see some obvious errors in this biographical article about Margaret Hughes. Some of the key biographical dates are reported inconsistently. Example: Her date of birth is reported to be in the year 1630. Then shortly after, the article states: "Margaret Hughes was born in the late 1650s." Similarly, her year of death is reported as being 1685, but then later 1719. And one last obvious chronology error -- the article says Margaret Hughes met Prince Rupert in 1868. Besides the problem this presents of her meeting someone after her reported death, whether in 1685 or 1719, there is also the dubious fact that this would have her meeting Rupert when she was well over 200 years old. Something's really chronologically awry in this article. I would add corrections, but I do not have that information nor any reliable source material readily on hand.

I edited out recent additions that were clearly contradictory—if Hughes had been born in the late 1650s, she would have been a toddler when she appeared onstage in 1660. Ugajin 06:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
