Thanks for the review. I have tried to source some of the statements from places other than Who's Who. I've also cleaned a few other things up and added some more links. It's very difficult to find anywhere else which gives a primary source for the birth year and location though.

My apologies for not knowing that Who's Who was considered an unreliable source. I was taking very similar entries for other UK legal scholars as a guide, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Armour and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Worthington both of which rely extensively on the same.

I would be grateful if you could let me know how it stands now?

All the best,
