Birthyear
Ancestry.com shows both 1922 (Social security death index record) and 1926 (California death index 1940-1997 record). They both present her as Audrey Cotter Six or Audrey C. Six. Therefore, which one is correct? See the link [1]. Hotwine8 21:31, 1 August 2006
User:Hotwine8: 1922 is the correct year of birth. I remember from when the SSDI provided SS numbers, dates of birth, etc. FREE before they stopped doing so, for a variety of reasons, I suspect. The year on the gravestone at Find-A-Grave is, well let's just say "inaccurate" to be kind. Census figures are ussually more accurate anyway. Btw the link you provide is outdated -- as I say they no longer offer the info free or even display anything other than the year and county/city of death. You have to buy it and answer a lot of questions.

- I cannot join the birth year debate, but I know my basic math. According to the dates of birth and death as displayed, Ms. Meadows should have been 69, not 73. (1926 + 70 = 1996, but she died before her next birthday.) Either her birth year or her age at death is wrong; the info should be removed until the facts are found.

Birthday has been updated to reflect correct mathematical dates- Julie —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.209.250 (talk) 14:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- Action taken by "Julie" (unregistered IP only user) rv. Audrey Six was born in 1922 as per the Social Security Death Index under the name Audrey C. Six notwithstanding the inaccurate Find a Grave info.
When you hit the link and get to the ancestry.com ssdi site just input "Six", then "Audrey" and submit.Quis separabit? 20:13, 4 June 2012 (UTC)- Further confirmation that Audrey Cotter was born in 1922 is 1930 census at Ancestry.com, which clearly states she was 8 years old in April 1930.

________________________________ There is still a discrepancy -- the right side area says she died at 69, but the article itself states she died shortly before her 74th birthday: it cannot be both. I'm just an observer, and I won't change it, but somebody should. 68.71.8.44 (talk) 03:01, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- What is the discrepancy? I don't see it. She was born in 1922 and died in 1996, which is 74, however she died several days before her birthday, so she was technically 73 years old at the time of her death. Other editors have changed it in the past due to incorrect information from Find-a-Grave and other sites, so perhaps that is the cause of your concern. Find-a-Grave is not a particularly reliable source except for photos of gravestones, which are usually (although not in Audrey Meadows' case), accurate and informative.

Parents
Added her father's full name from her New York Times obituary: Audrey Meadows, "Honeymooners' Co-Star, Dies at 71 Her mother's birth surname is usually said to have been Miller, but it seems to have actually been Taylor, with Miller as a middle name. her mother's birth name from her parents' wedding announcement: Miss Ida M. Taylor to be Bride of Rev. F.J.M. Cotter on May 27. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariadne55 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
