Bob Lane (politician) → Bob Lane (Canadian politician) – He is not the only politician with this name. See Bob Lane (American politician). The current title should redirect to the disambiguation page at Robert Lane. kennethaw88 • talk 03:36, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1926?[edit]

Which is the correct date? HulkNorris (talk) 19:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where 1926 came from, but his bio at the Parliament of Canada website (ParlInfo) has 1933 and I would tend to rely on that for now. That said, it is notable that his wife Violet was born April 29, 1928, making her 5 years Bob's senior and he would have been about 23 years old when they married in 1950. But lacking any other reference for now, I would keep it at 1933 for Bob. Not to be disrespectful by any means, but the right answer may come when he joins Violet...

Hold on! My math is wrong! If he was born in 1933 (maybe) and he married in 1950 (established from Violet's obituary), then he would have only been 17 years old. So 1926 is starting to make more sense, except we don't have any documentation to support it right now. MauriceYMichaud (talk) 19:51, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
