Talk:James Grieve (footballer)

James Grieve footballer
I am James Grieve niece. Football info is correct as far as I know, however he never married. He was born 19 Jan. 1908 in Walkergate and died 23 June 1995 in the family home at 25 Lownds Tce. WalkerNewcastle on Tyne 188.31.133.118 (talk) 07:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this. Wikipedia pages are based on published sources, and the previous birth date and death year in Mr Grieve's article came from the English National Football Archive, which ought to be accurate. However, it looks to me as if whoever supplied them with that info had made a guess at which of the James Grieves born in Walkergate at about the right time was the footballer, and guessed wrong (it happens). The James Grieve born on your date fits better with snippets out of the newspapers, e.g. the bit about him passing up a move to Manchester City because he'd got a steady job with the railways fits with the 1939 Register showing "your" James Grieve working for LNER. I've updated the page as best I can, but had to leave out the exact death date because I have no access to anything published that confirms it.
