Talk:Benjamin William Page

B class review
B class. This is my B class review of the article. See my comment below. Djmaschek (talk) 17:00, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Unclear sentence: "His family were on close terms with that of another Ipswich local, Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Hughes, especially so his father, Reverend R. Leman, and his uncle, Reverend J. Leman." Comment: It's not clear from the sentence whether Rev. Leman is the father of Page or Hughes. If Leman is Page's father, why are their last names different? Is Page a step-son?
 * Thanks for the review. Per the sources referenced in "Early life" and "Family", which are the only ones I've been able to locate that discuss his family in any detail: Page's father was the Rev. R. Leman and his uncle the Rev. J. Leman. His brother was named Samuel Page. He had nephews named Robert Leman Page, Samuel Flood Page, and Luke Flood Page, and nieces named Charlotte Page, Elizabeth Page, and Sophia Page. I think this demonstrates that the Leman and Page families were one and the same or at least connected through multiple marriages, however as of right now I have found no source that definitively says what the connection was. Putting his information into Ancestry actually provides a different set of parents but I've absolutely no sources to back that up. I'm going to keep looking in the hope that there will be something clearer out there! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:34, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Some people in these English families took the mother's name. That might occur if he inherited from his mother's family (see Barnard Foord Bowes, Early career, paragraph 1). I asked the question because, if I was puzzled about this, other readers will probably be puzzled also. Djmaschek (talk) 18:16, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Currently no idea who the mother was, unfortunately! Interestingly one thing I have come across in my search so far is a request for help from a historian in the 1800s who was also struggling to find members of Page's family! Will continue looking and hope to clarify as much as possible shortly (update: found a better source that provided details of parents - seems the other source I was using confused some different generations of his maternal family).
