Did he ever marry and/or have kids?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

early life[edit]

This article mentions almost nothing about his early life, except whose child he was. One imagines that the child of such an illustrious father would have some record of his birth and early years. If there is no such record, it would be best to say why. Otherwise the article has a huge hole in it. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 22:14, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have researched thoroughly, and no, there is nothing to hand, or I'd have included it. As to why, if you can find something that's not original research, I'd be delighted to see it as I agree at the moment it's a shame we have nothing more on his life. But at the moment this is one the most complete biographies of Inglis in existence, drawing facts from a disparate number of partial sources, and brief mentions. Benea (talk) 23:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crimmin's biography of his father for instance could find no record of a marriage or children, only that the appearance of Charles Inglis in the engagement with the Guillaume Tell was proof he had a son. Benea (talk) 23:42, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

30 February?[edit]

Don't you mean 30 Janaury or 30 March? The last day of February in 1833 was on the 28th? Chris (talk) 23:11, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
