[edit] Source

There's a quote: "Directly descended from The Pilgrim's Progress author John Bunyan" right at the start. But the source of this is not listed. What proof is there? I ask, because some years ago I was doing some research into John Bunyan, and found that he had no remaining descendants with the Bunyan surname. Unless Vashti's line regained the name, one of the two has to be wrong. So I'm seeking a source of proof Talismancer (talk) 23:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

There was an article about it in a British newspaper in the sixties - it's reprinted in the sleeve notes to Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind - Singles and Demos 1964 to 1967 and I imaine that's where the quote at the start of the article comes from. Cavie78 (talk) 00:20, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe that I added that back when I was (relatively) new to wikipedia and didn't know anything about citing. I've just searched and there's a couple of articles where it's mentioned I'll cite this one, from the The Washington Post, since it's got some sort of interview and is fairly recent. I can't remember the original article I found it on but I reckon it was probably this piece from the Sunday Herald (via Wayback Machine) from 2005. Still if you have actually done research into the descendants of John Bunyan you are probably more correct than some journalist who has possibly copied a mistake from the sixties. That being said I would've hoped that they would have checked these things out before reprinting the article mentioned by Cavie78 as liner notes.--Thetriangleguy (talk) 16:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
