Personal detail

What is the authority for saying that Sophia Feild had an adopted son ? Does he appear in her Will? Was he legally adopted?

I cannot find any reference to him in the bishop's extant correspondence which ends with his death in 1876. He was married to

Sophia Mountain ne Bevan for only nine years.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.90.118 (talk) 21:31, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

There is a picture of Edward Feild extant in Wikipedia. Is it possible to put it with the article? Frederick Jones

It should be, do you know what article it appears in, or what the title of the image is? David Underdown 07:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is headed as follows - Image:Bishop Feild.jpg - FJones

How's that? It may be worth trying to trim the surround slightly to tidy it up (it currently includes some of the surrounding paper). David Underdown 10:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks FJ

Undo

Reference your last undoing of edit Mr Underdown, you are obviously not a sociologist. FJ

Well no I'm not, but I don't see how that's relevant. The comparison was to Northern Ireland where "The Troubles" (and their historical predecessors) were routinely described as "sectarian". "Religious passions" which is what the anon changed it too (or were you not logged in?) does not convey the same thing at all to me - this could all too easily be within a single denomination, rather than between deifferent ones. David Underdown 12:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've now also linked to the Wikipedia article on Sectarianism which seems to me to follow the usage of the term as I undestand it, no direct relation to what we think of these days as sects where the word has taken on pejorative overtones - though I udnerstnad it was used in a wider sense in the past. David Underdown 12:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dont agree but dont think it matters too much. By all means sacrifice precision to a vaguer usage, that of journalists. FJ

Only a particular type of Anglican alters Catholic to Roman Catholic. I am neither. Why not respect common usage? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frederick jones (talk • contribs) 14 August 2007

Since Feild is described in the article as a Tractarian he would presumably have regarded himself as a catholic. In that context, it seemed necessary to make the distinction for the purposes of clarity. David Underdown 11:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anglican

With all the "Tractarian" business etc., there is only one mention of "Anglican" on the page. Shouldn't the very first paragraph mention the denomination? Non-Anglicans may not be able to deduce from the names of colleges and seminaries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.7.176 (talk) 05:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
