Talk:Anne Knight

Not a biography
The article as presented is not a biography but looks like a grab bag of lyrics. If there is bio information it should be put in the article and an external link created for the lyrics--09:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * After looking at the history page, it appears this article is the subject of vandalism; needs reversion.--FeanorStar7 09:42, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I deleted the copyvio and restored the proper text. The lyrics have nothing to do with this person; they are "How to Save a Life". No need for a link in the article, obviously. Kafziel Talk 14:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The John Candler referred to is indefensibly linked by Wikipedia to a US politician John W Candler. In fact John Candler of Chelmsford Essex was Ann Knight's brother in law (see Catherine Hall, Civilising Subjects) and extracts from his journal of a visit to the West Indies and Jamaica in 1840 were published. His companion for some of it was the Quaker banker Samuel Gurney. Candler was involved in the free village movement in Jamaica (one of the villages was Knightsville and acquired at some poin the Albany estate in St George Parish, where he settled the African American abolitionist Samuel Ringgold Ward appaently after a visit Ward had made to address abolitionists in Chelmsford in 1854 (see Ward's autobiography).   i don't know how to remove the link, but if anyone does, perhaps they should.94.195.222.185 (talk) 00:45, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
