Talk:Ray Dorset

Evidence for 1946 birth year

 * There seems to be a bit of an editing war between 1946 and 1945 for Ray's birth year. My extensive research does favour the latter, but has someone got more substantial evidence?Derek R Bullamore 18:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Every source I've seen makes the year 1946. I was co-author with Derek Wadeson of 'Beyond the Summertime: The Mungo Jerry Story', a project which had Ray Dorset's full approval.  He did correct a few minor details in the manuscript, but altering his date of birth wasn't one of them.  So I'd say we can take that as read. Durajohnpatrick 18:10, 4 July 2006


 * I am Ray's daughter and can confirm that he was born in 1946. 52.159.64.103 10:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)Sarena Dorset
