Hingston vs Kingston
[edit]The books published by Tuckey definitely say Hingston

So I am not sure where the reference books started the reference to Kingston.
Is anyone aware of a definitive reference that says that it is Kingston, or is there just the propagation of one assumption that carries through.
I would like to propose that we look to move these to Hingston. billinghurst sDrewth 17:19, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

- Moved the article to display Hingston not Kingston.
- It would seem that all the references to Kingston originate from the unattributed introduction to the posthumous book in Tuckey's name about Zaire, specifically the text as shown at http://www.archive.org/stream/narrativeanexpe00tuckgoog#page/n66/mode/2up . billinghurst sDrewth 16:15, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
