Hi - I'm not trying to be a pain, but you're adding information that isn't referenced to any published source. Please read our policies on verifiability and reliable sources for more on this - basically, we can't add stuff just because know it to be true, we need to be able to demonstrate that it's correct so that other people can check it. Please don't restore the content without adding some references - you might want to read WP:EW for information on what is called 'edit warring', where users just keep adding content after they have been reverted. If you find a source for your information, and want any help citing it properly, you're welcome to drop me a note on my talk page. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 14:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- The official records giving her birth name as Gertrude Evelyn Freeman are available online at Ancestry.com. I know it's a pay site and we should avoid primary sources, but when family members provide accurate corrections we should lean towards incorporating them, and not "be a pain". Thanks to Patricia.A.Freeman for their interest in improving our accuracy. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:08, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
