Talk:Margaret Sibella Brown

Sibella vs Sybella
There are references to both a Margaret Sibella Brown and a Margaret Sybella Brown ("i" vs. "y" in middle name), both of whom lived in Nova Scotia, and both with a father named "R. Brown". It is unclear if these are the same person with alternate spellings of her name, or two different people. For example, this photo and this other photo are clearly the same person, but with the two different name spellings. On the other hand, most of the sources I can find for Sibella talk about her being a bryologist, and most of the sources for Sybella talk about her being a nurse. Very confusing. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:46, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Upon further research, it seems clear that the various sources all refer to the same person. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:19, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
