Birth years of crew members
In South Shackleton refers to McNish as "over 50 years of age". He also refers to Vincent as "a young man". Huntford, in his Shackleton biography, says McNish was "almost twice Vincent's age". Yet the table shows only 5 years between them - McNish aged 42 and Vincent 37 in 1916. Are we certain of their birth years? Brianboulton (talk) 01:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * - and Paton was with the Nimrod in 1907-09 so I doubt that he was actually born in 1896. Brianboulton (talk) 01:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I haven't got most of my books with me at the moment so I can't check. Shackleton is confused about McNish - I'm reasonably certain about his dates (though I'd have to look back to see where I got them from). Paton was a typo - should have been 1869 (from Stenhouse's archive info at the SPRI). Vincent 's dates are here here - they seem to have done a thorough job, but as soon as I get back I'll see if I can confirm them. Yomangani talk 02:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The visitandlearn website gives McNish's birth year as 1866..... Brianboulton (talk) 10:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * However, I see on reading further that, having given this 1866 date, the article says it's wrong and that 1874 is correct, so I think I'll shut up about it. Brianboulton (talk) 18:56, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
