Compare John Harris (publisher)[edit]

In the much longer biography John Harris (publisher) we say

Harris took over Newbery's firm which had passed first to his son Francis Newbery, then to his nephew and nephew's wife.[2] Harris had managed the firm for Elizabeth Newbery and in 1801 bought it from her, renaming in his own name.

and

In 1819 the firm became J. Harris & Son

and

In 1824, Harris turned the firm over to his son and in 1843 it was bought by Griffith and Farran.

Not a strict contradiction but it does clash with 1865. --P64 (talk) 00:56, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
