Talk:Mathilde Wolff Van Sandau

improvement needed
This article needs improvement about the two sisters and their early life and life after suffragette activism. Kaybeesquared (talk) 21:26, 8 December 2019 (UTC)


 * There may not have been two sisters . Matilda Wolff died "in a local nursing home on 29 August 1926 aged 83 and was buried in Putney Vale Cemetery as Matilda Wolff". There are no records for the other alleged sister. Psychologist Guy (talk) 16:45, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

One woman?
Kaybeesquared, as mentioned above and by ForsythiaJo at WP:WPWIR, a British Library source published after you wrote the article suggests that Elsie and Mathilde may actually have been one woman going under different names. Did you find any sources that stated there were two sisters? I couldn't see any, but I may have missed something. My suggestion would be to rearrange the article and move it to Mathilde Wolff Van Sandau unless there is strong evidence that there actually were two different women.

 * Thanks. I have looked back at the materials I have but nothing jumps out now to counter the BL opinion although I think there were two records in the original 'pardon' archive as ( it is known to have some errors).
 * Please feel free to edit the Wikipedia entry appropriately.
 * Many thanks for pursuing this.

 * I have created Draft:Mathilde Wolff Van Sandau, which is a lightly updated version of the current article. If nobody objects I will update this article and move it to Mathilde Wolff Van Sandau. TSventon (talk) 09:12, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you
 * Because the article currently in Draft was about 'two' people the first names are used as was considered for the action of each sister, I suggest replacing with surname throughout to be in line with standard bios before publishing on main site.
 * Thank you for the efforts to clarify.

 * Yes, that makes sense, I have done so. The museum record for the medal also refers to one person. TSventon (talk) 11:07, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
