Talk:John Barnett (rugby)

died 1918
Whiticker's Player Encyclopedia says he died of meningitis in 1918. Where does the 1951 death reference come from ? -Sticks66 (talk) 22:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Birth year confusion
The birth year is going to cause some headache for people who take a cursory look at the linked records.
 * We know Barnett died in 1918. October possibly late september.
 * The funeral notices list his Father as F. H. Barnett
 * Scrum.com tells us he was born in Tuena, which is a town in Carcoar district
 * BDM search in NSW shows us that a John Thomas Barnett was born in 1880!!! to Francis Henry and Mary Barnett.
 * Both the [olympics dbase] and the[scrum.com website] website correlate the Jan 19 birthdate.
 * For all these reasons I am editing his birthdate to be 19 January 1880.
 * It will be an interesting citation when I am done though! SauliH (talk) 06:08, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
