Unreliable source

[edit]

The Italian article cites an archived genealogy site as source for her birth and death dates and place of birth as "Kidbrooke Hall, East Grimstead, Sussex". East Grimstead, which is in Wiltshire, has got into WikiData. Kidbrooke Hall is in East Grinstead, Sussex. "Died 1901" is in library catalogues and likely to be reliable, but the other dates may be as dodgy as the placename. PamD 17:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And as her husband bought Kidbrooke Hall in 1894 from the 3rd Lord Colchester it's fairly unlikely to have been her birthplace. Not impossible, as the parents were based in India so may have stayed with friends in UK for the birth. PamD 17:08, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
