Birthplace[edit]

There has been some recent editing between Norwich and Belfast. The Guardian, 2002 states Norwich. The Belfast Telegraph, 2015 has Belfast. A search of the England and Wales Birth Registration Index turns up a "Timothy R Martin" born in "Apr-Jun 1955" in "Norwich Outer", mother's surname "Shiells" (primary source, I know). Searching the General Register Office Northern Ireland costs money. Unless someone can come up with better sources, we should prefer Norwich as Martin's birthplace.

Agreed. Dormskirk (talk) 22:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I recall they said Norwich on Desert Island Discs. But his parents had roots in Northern Ireland. I've (re)added some details from the existing linked sources, but there is much more that could be said. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.74.88.7 (talk) 10:13, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spoon or Spoons?[edit]

The article is using a mixture. If it really is Weatherspoon singular adn there's a "s", there should be an apostrophe? Crisper23 (talk) 21:19, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
