This is how Harrogate appeared as Cryan's birthplace initially in the English Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Cryan&diff=next&oldid=665909351 Please remind that at that time NO SOURCE was given !!!!!!! All supposed "sources" have appeared thereafter ! Can anyone present a reliable source published BEFORE June 07, 2015 ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.241.18 (talk) 16:08, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Since the source is the BBC, we have to assume that they didn't lift it from Wikipedia. I think we're good on this one. --regentspark (comment) 17:36, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, go to this prefilled birth records search form and click on "Find". The result you'll get is not Harrogate but it is SUNDERLAND !! --93.223.20.75 (talk) 00:43, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Cryan was born in SUNDERLAND and NOT in Harrogate !!!!!

Proof:

Will someone now PLEASE CHANGE that !!!!!! Thank You !

NOW:

Quite in contradistinction to all the other sources cited so far (BBC and others) this new source is not merely an article ABOUT Mr Cryan but it is an article based on an actual interview WITH Cryan himself. Therefore we have good reason to assume that Mr Cryan HIMSELF has authorised the relevant parts, especially those about his private life !

https://global.handelsblatt.com/edition/429/ressort/finance/article/riding-with-the-king

The relevant passages therein are:

"It was actually a coincidence that Mr. Cryan became a banker. He was born into a middle-class family in SUNDERLAND, a tough working-class city in the northeast of England. His mother died when he was a child. He went to Cambridge to study physics, where Stephen Hawking was one of his professors. After graduating, Mr. Cryan wasn’t sure what to do. He thought about pursuing a PhD. But his father, a jazz musician in the legendary London club Ronny Scott’s, had died while Mr. Cryan was a student. So he needed money. After a short spell as an auditor, he joined the British investment bank SG Warburg." - "Handelsblatt reporter Daniel Schäfer spent a week on the road with Deutsche Bank Co-Chief Executive Officer John Cryan – and soon-to-be sole CEO – as the two trotted the globe from Singapore to London to Frankfurt. Along they way, they shared a flight, carpooled, met customers and colleagues, attended a company meeting, traversed a busy trading floor, and enjoyed a Sunday brunch. Never has a journalist come this close to the most powerful banker in Germany. What the author discovered is that there is much more to this media-shy British-born banker than meets the eye. Mr. Cryan unveiled himself as charming, humorous, even mischievous – and always up for surprises. (...) In addition to being granted unprecedented access to the top banker, Mr. Schäfer met with countless current and former colleagues, customers and investors. Among them was Mr. Cryan’s long-time executive assistant. And if anyone knows the boss, it’s his secretary, who revealed one of the Deutsche Bank CEO’s quintessential qualities: He can be fierce, even furious, but never does he lose his cool."

Therefore it is the City of SUNDERLAND instead of (the miserable place of) Harrogate which has to be inserted as Mr John Cryan's birthplace !

 * They actually don't state that he was born in Sunderland. They imply he lived as a child with his family in Sunderland. --84.130.138.146 (talk) 10:01, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there. John Cryan was born in Sunderland not Harrogate. The BBC have now corrected their article where this was incorrectly reported: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33048196 Please could this be updated in the article. Thanks.JennyDB (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
