Talk:Sibella Ross

Age
Two quotes from the artisle: "In 1867, when Ross was 29 years old..." and "Ross died at her home on 7 September 1929, aged 89." They can't both be right. Grutness... wha?   12:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for noticing that! Isn't it possible that they are both correct statements depending on what month of the year Ross was born in? Maybe? Anyway I think the National Library statement is more reliable and will keep that and remove the other. MurielMary (talk) 12:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Sadly they can't both be right. If she was 29 in 1867, she must have been born in 1837 or 1838. If she was 89 in 1929, she must have been born in 1839 or 1840. I agree that the Nat.Lib. is more likely to be accurate. Grutness... wha?   12:27, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Her birth is registered in Preston, Lancashire, in the second quarter (April to June) of 1840, and she was baptised on 31 May 1840 at Ashton-on-Ribble in Preston, which is consistent with being aged 89 at her death in September 1929. Paora (talk) 19:26, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Why is she notable? Xx236 (talk) 12:37, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * , probably because she did enough so that a sufficient number of reliable and secondary sources report about her life?  Schwede 66  19:07, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Ancestry.com is not selective, so we have 3 sources. Is any person mentioned by three sources notable? I assume she had to fight for woman's rights in NZ, but nothing about it in the text. Xx236 (talk) 07:35, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
