Talk:Susan Littler

Susan Littler
I thought it was high time someone gave Susan the WP article she deserves and I've done me best, with the following riders:


 * 1) Can't find a specific d.o.b. anywhere, only the year 1948 (although it must be the latter half of the year, given her age at her death of 33)
 * 2) Have gone with Sheffield as birthplace as it appears by far the most likely (only one newspaper reference to her as a "Lancashire lass" contradicts, and as a born and bred Yorkshireman, I can say that as Viv her Yorkshire accent was entirely convincing and authentic, no stray vowels from t'other side of t'Pennines!)
 * 3) I haven't mentioned her (probable) relationship with Richard O'Callaghan as I can't find any acceptable online source to back it up, so it would only be presumed, and as he's still with us I imagine any mention would fall foul of WP:BLP (tho' I'm no expert on that).

Birthplace
I have reverted the article to Sheffield as her birthplace as that is what most sources state. I can only find one source (the New York Times, which is hardly reliable on English geography) which definitely says otherwise, although one fan site acknowledges that there is a question mark as to whether it is Lancashire. 'Fleetwood' is a more specific location than 'Lancashire' but it would be better if the source of that was known.

 * Hello, I have proof from the BNA that Susan came from Fleetwood, Lancashire. A newspaper article I downloaded states as much in an interview she did with a local newspaper in the 1970's Tonygima (talk) 22:11, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Hello, I have further researched Susan's early life and can confirm that she came from Fleetwood. She had two sisters, Vivienne and Francis and her father Joe was a blacksmith. These details and more can be confirmed by reading the link I sent requesting info about Susan on 'Fleetwood's past' on Facebook. Tonygima (talk) 01:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
