 * The Ojibwe American Indian George Cornell, born in 1948, is the one referred to in "What links here". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.108.136 (talk • contribs)

More Confusion
This article states that George Cornell was a childhood friend of the Krays, yet The Richardson Gang article says they had first met while in Shepton Mallet Prison. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.18.253.31 (talk) 09:28, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Myers?
Although this aka was also mentioned in A Profession of Violence, what was Cornell's name at birth? Was Myers a later pseudonym? There was a large and well-established East End family of Cornell around then, who were locally well-known as persistent criminals, and I have it on very good authority - albeit personal and there not citable - that he certainly had an unmistakeable familial resemblance - and was given a rough genealogy too Plutonium27 (talk) 21:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Text
' The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore by The Walker Brothers; after Cornell was shot, the record stuck on the words "anymore...anymore".'

This is pointless and unproven, it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.72.54.162 (talk) 12:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

The Widows
An inaccuracy in the text states that the Grave Maurice was also known as "the widows". I think the widows was actually The Lion in Tapp Street.
