Talk:Richard Broxton Onians

Untitled
Not sure why the author of this piece characterizes The Origins of European Thought as "eccentric". It was ahead of its time; a mixture of anthropology and classics. It's a goldmine of information that would otherwise require a solid knowledge of Greek and Latin to dig out. Most people are not educated in these disciplines today and the book is still in print. A solid resource that can be used in many fields.

Marriage date
Apologies for adding unreferenced data. I have this date by direct face-to-face contact with Onians&rsquo; eldest daughter, born 1938 October. We could get a copy of the certificate if someone really insists. The date was added in this edit by and probably came from the Times obit or Who was Who so possibly the source had it wrong. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:01, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No, have checked both the sources and they agree on 1937 (though neither gives the exact date) - I must have misread or mistyped it. Apologies for my carelessness. Pam  D  23:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
