Inconsistencies within WP[edit]

According to this unsourced stub, his first wife was "youngest daughter of Harry Alastair Rawdon, son of the Earl Wavell." According to Archibald Wavell, 2nd Earl Wavell, the 2nd and last Earl died unmarried and without issue. Archibald Wavell, 1st Earl Wavell's children don't include a Harry. Something inconsistent between the various articles. PamD 17:49, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Compare [1]. The birthdate looks wrong, but his wife was apparently the daughter of Harry Alastair Gordon, who married Wavell's daughter Lady Joan. In any case, it needs sourcing-anyone have online access to Burke's? Choess (talk) 22:15, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

Who's Who lists his date of birth as 21 Jan 1951, not 1960. It also shows his wife Patiricia as "d of late Major Harry Alastair Gordon, MC". PamD 10:41, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
