Typically pedantic MoS-type picky question[edit]

Great article. Small point; I think that 'Director' shouldn't be capitalised; I read up on the MoS for the volunteer/Volunteer thing in the summer. Unless I am mistaken, or the MoS guidance has changed, I think it should be 'director', unless it is part of a commonly capitalized phrase like 'President of the United States'. Which this maybe is, but I don't think so. Anyone? --John (talk) 06:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was just following usage in the sources, so I think it would be correct, i.e. it is commonly capitalised in the context. Same with Trustee. Tyrenius (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 06:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reference for family[edit]

Does the 1901 Census[1] specify the relative ages of these people and confirm they were siblings? Ty 19:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
